heres a fooling around burn from the DRU830. Hasnt seen a burn in MONTHS!!! Not bad considering its seen more than my 840 (ALOT ALOT of discs), and made funny clicking/bbzztttzztt sounds throughout!
Burned at 4X. The drive always did prefer 4X.
I imagine 8X would get pretty colorfull, LOL
To delete, or not to delete. THAT is the question! |

Mannnn... Thats not right. They shouldnt have the right to put Sony/Nec on a burner that is infact lite-on. That really bothers me. Really shady if you ask me, :( NOT too shabby a scan Binkie7.
By the way, the number 7 is mine. I hold the patent! LOL. Nah... I was born on the seventh, :D
omegaman7,
I don't believe they are re-badged at all! I think many different companies make the parts, judging by all the labels on drives these days. There are too many physical differences for them the just be rebadged anything. I would imagine all of these different components are manufactured by other companies to Sony/Nec/Optiarc's specs and then assembled by Optiarc. I think the term re-badged for optical drives is highly overused and many times wrong. I know that there is at least three different company's labels on a lot of drives. Since it makes no sense to go to the expense of creating drives so physically different, what would be the point? All it would do is increase the costs! I'm not saying that this is 100% across the board, but it does make sense to me! I'm quite sure that a lot of the drive manufacturers, like LiteOn make the exact same drive for many different companies, but I'm fairly certain that Optiarc isn't one of them. Lots of times I've seen drives with different brand names that were absolutely identical. I have yet to see that with the Optiarcs. Possibly the AW models, but the others look different, inside and out. I've repaired enough of them, and that's my observation!
Russ
Russ you may be right when it comes to certain drives like ASUS, they use the same chip that Lite-On does (Mediatek) many times but build a completely different drive. I found that out with the 2 that I purchased. Still decent drives so no worries really. ;)
On the Sony's, the are just Lite-On production models with Sony/Optiarc cosmetics. I've researched this and that's why some Sony's are/have been BENQ's, Liteys, NEC's, and maybe more but those 3 for sure. ;)

well i tried the same thing as hobbit and got the same results. CK pm'd at cdf. he said the flasher will use the exe file just fine.and it did. it just wont flash to the newer drive and FW.no biggy as GM and i talked about last night my LH-18A1P prolly has about 1000 burns on it if not close to it. it is/was about time for it to bite the bullet...here is a scan of the last disc it burnt. i scanned it on my LH-20A1S(which now has problems will explain later)
so it is just setting in the tower powerless right now.lol gotta wait for a new drive to get here.
now my LH-20A1S.
i put in a 250gb ide hdd this morning,i took out some sata cables to give me some room to move things around. i noticed when i went to put everything back together, the sata connector on the back of the drive was broke off. only the pins were showing i looked at the cables and the little plastic thing was still in the sata cable. so i just easily plugged it back in and it seems to be working fine. i did that above scan on that drive with the broken part. getting ready to do a burn and see what happens. here is a pic of what I'm talking about that broke.
so i guess I'm in the need of 2 drives now... this flat out sucks. the drive still works but knowing it is broken messes with the mind not knowing if it is gonna mess up?

If that's the case, I guess they are going for what is the most cost effective for them. I look at it this way, A good drive is a good drive, regardless of whose name is on it, so you get the one that's the most bang for the buck. Quality is Quality! LOL!!

Considering the shaky availability of the AD-7200s, what's a good burner to buy these days? I'm confused as hell with ProVantage. One place says they have them and another doesn't. I found it on line but the url Will gave me doesn't work anymore. I know GM likes the Samsungs and the LiteOns. What models, and yes I'm going to go Sata against my better judgment!

heres the FIRST run on my second optiarc 7200A. Not bad! Chalk up another good optiarc! Whoops, dont wanna hexx the burner, LOL. I love the sound that it makes when it checks for discs :D
I guess this ones got the same buffer irregularity (holds 95%). Quickest burn time for 8X though :D

Russ you might consider a 20x LG or the new AD-7220 drives from Sony/optiarc. :D We need someone to try one of the new Sony drives. :P I like the Samsungs to a point but I'd rather have a Sony/NEC, Litey, LG, or even Pioneer first. I've NOT had the best luck with Samsungs but again I've only had 3. ;)

I thought you said that the AD-7220 was NG! Forget about Pioneer! The two I've installed for customers were Annoyingly LOUD! Vibrated like a Mother! Same goes for Philips

GM,
That's what I thought they were, so I'll give one a try. 7220 or 7221?
Thanks,
Russ

Chalk up another AWESOME verbatim burn, from my newest 7200A. Dont get me wrong, I love TY, but what im seeing with these verbatim burns is not much less than perfection. Their name is WELL deserved. Quite possibly the lowest Pi E scan ive seen (average anyway)! And im also gonna start leaning toward verbatim, when searching for good buys between the two :D
Nice sig LOCOENG

Well... Thats real cute!!! Go to run some tests, And the rest of my media is (*&(&^%&... Theres a common flaw on my remaining verbs! Oh well. Its my own fault I suppose. Seriously, I have a way with words. Not 2 posts ago, im raiving about verbatim... and here we have it. I really gotta shut my mouth from now on. I swear, I have a way with words. I have this uncanny way of hexxing things. Must be some kinda curse, LOL. No biggie I guess. There were only 6 left in the cake package. At .20cents a disc, im really not gonna complain(black friday special). Suppose its a reasonable scan though. I was watching a television show while it was burning. Gotta love MULTI DRIVES :D

im about to pull my hair out here.
im trying to use the 7200A drive now. puta TY in and using create disc with nero to burn from the new hdd i installed, i get this error with it
and at that point my drive is dead. no power nothing. until i reboot the system it is working with my 7200S but it looks nasty. im wondering if its the ODD or that HDD haven a problem. maybe i need to reformat it. any ideas?
EDIT to add
this is what it looks like right now with the 7200S
well i fixed the problem with the 7200A drive. bad cable. or cable connection. swapped out cables and its fine.
but i dont know why the 7200S looks like that unless its cable is loose. i did check all those cables while i was in there. gonna give it a try again here in a min once the 7200A is done with its thing.
i wonder if trying to burn them crappy F16's at 16x had something to do with it.???
