Digital camera reviews of Liteon 20X External DVDrw + Lightscribe, Retail Pack
Digital camera Review: Ambivelent about product.
Summary: 3 Stars
Lets start with the picture ... there are 3 pictures associated with this particular model. Unless I missed it I had no way to choose which one I received. I don't care so much about esthetics but there are some of you who might.
Set up was easy provided you don't read the instructions. The instructions on the quick start card differ from those in the manual. (I followed the instructions on the quick start card.)
I've burned 6 DVD's at the time of this review. The data on Disk 1 and 2 works fine. The light scribe process failed on both. Disk 3 & 4 burned fine. The light scribed labels on both look great and the data transfer went off without a hitch. Disk 5 ... the label looks great but the burner identified the disk as a blank CD rather then a DVD. Disk 6 had no issues. I used the same type of blank for each burn and made no adjustments to the settings. It seems unlikely that 3 of the 6 blanks in the same spindle would be bad.
Additionally, LiteOn, the manufacturer of these drives, provides no firmware for this model.
For these reasons I am ambivalent about my purchase. I'm excited when it works and unhappy when it does not.
