Okay so one out of every three burns I do with my Benq 1650 does not play or even read in any of my players or comp. So I'm thinking it's finally dying, so in my quest to puchasing a new drive I find myself here. Personally I would like another Lite-on drive one as good or better than the SHW-160P6S. Oh and I don't have SATA connections in my comp.
You know it man, between my nephew, my mom, and myself I'm burning like a bat out of hell. I'm thinking of just getting the Lite-On SHW 160P6SU EZ-DUB.
I was checking around cdfreaks. Apparently Liteon went downhill since they bought up benq. Some of those members had stockpiles of 20-40 Q's.There's only a certain model of Samsung also highly recommended,but hard to find now.
I still have my original I/O Magic Benq 1620 in the nephews pc.A 1640 in my original 498 mhz conglomorite of a pc in the daughter's room. A 1620 and PX-716A on my backup Athlon 3000+ pc,and the 1650 in my main pc. Then I slapped dad in an extra 1650 in his pc,so he could have dual drives. I told him if he gets rid of the pc,I want that 1620 out of it, LOL.
Also picked up 2 new 1640's day after christmas.A buddy at work wanted a good drive,so I got a good deal on 2 of them.
