Benq DW1640 - What do you think?
Hello All
I was thinking of buying a Benq DW1640 DVD Burner within the next day or two and i was wondering what other people thought of it. Am i wasting my money, or are there other good burners out there that anyone else can recommend. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Equally good to Plextor PX-740 (factly: the same drive) and costing about half! So, it can't be a bad drive at all... I prefer NEC drives, but this is (partly) subjective.
Of course your BenQ can't utilize the fine program named Plextools, but PX-740 cannot fully utilize it, either (should we call it "not-a-real-Plextor"?).

I gather this drive is also rebadged as the Philips 8701 - which i now have due to it being in my new comp !
I am tempted to flash it to the Benq, but wonder if its worth it ?

Great drive I have one.
Think about it to date that was the only way plextor could may a good Dvd burner is to use someone else is.  Good luck.
