| Good and reliable writer. Although it didn't burnt highest speed of the discs with good quality. 8x discs (Plasmon1 C01 &DT-D03 004) burnt well with 6x and 16x (MCC 004) burnt well with 8x. With lower speed every disc was good. I used all the time newest firmware (now CS0T). Comments posted by HAM from Finland, February 27, 2006. Rated this writer 7 of 10. |

| A lot of compatibility problems. I have a DVD player and I cannot read any of the DVDs I wrote beside eProformance (8x both +R and -R) and Traxdata RW (4x +R). I didn't had this problem before and I view a lot of movies written with different DVD writers. Bad writing on Commodore (I wrote 6 DVDs at speeds between 2.4x - 8x). One gives write failure. Traxdata 8x +R is average because cannot be read after writing on LITE-ON with certain DVDs. The last firmware update didn't help too mutch (tested with Commodore).

| Cannot write all media. Have burned 15 DVD's of CMC MAG E01 type. All were bad. Bought Nec 3520. Only a few were OK because they were written on lower speeds Comments posted by Erik from Netherlands, January 25, 2005. Rated this writer 5 of 10. |

| No doubt you should upgrade the firmware to ver. CS09!! http://www.liteonit.com.tw/ODD/WebFW/SOHW-1653S/DR16CS09.zip. With the original firmware (CS02) this drive does not support enough types of media. However, it is a good drive :-) Excellent and extremely fast CD-burner and reliable DVD- burner.
