Just what the hell do Liteon think they`re playing at? -first releasing mine (411S) then the 811S and now this in such a short space of time? Are they selling the public 'experimental prototypes',finding out what`s wrong with `em from the people they sold `em to,and try and make amends by releasing a "new improved version" ? Why don`t they try and get their current model(s) performing as good as they can possibly perform before trying to climb up the technology ladder as fast as their little arms and legs can carry them?.Crazy company!!!Think I`ll go back to my beloved Plextor like I should`ve done in the first place (but even they seem to be doing the same thing..but not quite on the Liteon scale) !..
