I am SICK of these pieces of crap DVD drives that work for a month or two, then just QUIT!
I'm on my 3rd one. I rarely use them, so I don't even know why I bother having one. I should have bought that SONY DVD burner instead of all of those pieces of CRAP.
Sorry to hear bout your bad experiences but it could be cooincidence.
Everyone I know has Liteon products (I just got thier 52x24x52 writer) and it seems of high quality and build.
i duno but u must have some really bad karma or luck or whatever cuz i have a Liteon DVD player and i have not had one problem with it and its over 6 months old.
I have used Liteon DVD readers and Liteon CD burners and have never had a single problem with any.
I was gonna get a liteon when my teac CDR gives up the ghost. apart from Spindulik everyone else seems to be happy with em. Are they really that good ?
cos i know they are cheap as chips.

i've got a lite-on 52/24/52 cd-rw drive. only had it for a couple of weeks or so, and have had no problems apart from a slight squeak (which has since disappeared).
i'd recommend the lite-on cd-rw drives to anyone, but can't really comment on the dvd drives
edit: @EsssBee: yeah, i'd say they were as good as people make out
here's a pic of the results from mine :D
the liteon drives i have are:
2 liteon DVD 16x
2 liteon cd rewriter 48x12x48
These are abut 1yr of age and i have had no problemo and i would recommend them

yep, if i were you i'd go for it.
look at it this way, for the price of a good night out, you could have a 52x drive.
that's how i justified it to myself. when you think about it, it's not really a lot of money
you know i couldnt actually wait ive already ordered one.
as you say £33 is nothing and can easily be spent in an evening/afternoon down the pub
Role on tuesday :lol:
Yes I will have to concur....I use LiteOn cd-rw drives and have nothing but good things to say about them.
However I dont have a rewritable dvd drive by this company so I can only
speak of the products I use.
Sorry to hear of your problems with LiteOn...any one else have problems
with these drives?
Could u be more specific than pieces of crap....lol
Like are u recieving error codes(software)
or is it hardware related?
Or are u just bitching?.......Which is cool.....because I would to if I had just
bought three defective DVD drives............ ;)
Peace brotherdoobie
I'm in the repair business. Not a single person can make blanket statements about any particular product. It simply wouldn't be accurate.
The numbers. Manufacturers produce products in such large quantities. For example, they may make 500,000(not unusual) of one model. If only 1% fail, that's 5000 defective units. Hell, the industry itself has a failure rate closer to 10%. You do the math.
A large portion(30-40% or more) of the cost you pay for electronics covers warranty repairs and administration.
Spindulik, you say you hardly use these drives. Well, if they are defective, when do you suppose they will show their defects? Usually they show up when initially used. That is, most defects will appear right away. You don't use something, you'll never know it's defective.
Quit your bitchin and get it repaired/replaced under the warranty. Afterall, that's what they're for. And, unless it involves shipping, it won't cost you anything.
No offense intended but your statements are so naive. And BTW, those numbers even apply to Sony(money doesn't necessarily buy quality).
I have never had a problem with my Lite On drive. I have had it since August and burned hundreds of Disks with it... ;)
I had good luck with lite on cdrw drives but not dvd rom drives. I had 1 and it died within a month.
Ditto and no probs either! Have to concur bad karma in the mist ;)Quote:

liteon dvd perfect for a long time (so it must be you)(or maybe a little brother or so, seen them do wierd stuff with stuff, sticking hands in and all)
liteon cdrw better than hp's anyway
and you can overburn with them :)
omg!!! my cd writer only gets 4x its slow!!! you guys got fast burners
