Just got me a Benq DW1620 pro, so far im very content.
I really like the QScan software. It scans blank media for possible burning speed\quality.
My old burner was a 401s@811s. Did a good job but was a little too picky on the media imo.

I bought a LG 4163B last week and it´s working fine.
Even bitsetting is supported by the 4163B.

Please remember that the Samsung is available with a Mediatek and a Toshiba chipset![]()
To make it short, after some warranty problems with an online shop i decided to buy my hardware at a local computershop. The Toshiba wasn´t available there so i bought the LG instead. Untill now i am not dissapointed with the LG drive. As i said before, bitsetting is supported and codefree FW is available too.
SD3 copy from Doom3 is working fine too.
I just upgraded the 3500 firmware to a hacked 2.18 (from Liggy), as 2.16 had problems burning to any speed higher than 2X a badge of 8X DVD-R media I got (Blue Media- crap in general, but they were very cheap, and the burning quality with the NEC is just fine- everything I've burned up to now is flawless). So far, so good, "Blue Media" crap now burn at 8X without issues.

Never argue with an idiot: first he will drag you down to his level, then he will beat you with experience.

It does what it says on the box!
Used to be a Toshiba 8x (which was brilliant, but gave it to a mate to help him out - too good a bloke, me) then an LG 16x which slowed down my comp ridiculously when burning, but burned well. (Still not up to the standard of the Tosh though) Now with a new computer, a Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo H bought last Fri the 6th of Feb 06, I now have a Philips dvd8701, which I am sooo tempted to crossflash back to Benq.
A penny saved is ridiculous.
Pioneer 108 for me.
writes Ritek 8 speed at 12x without problem so far........
