OC-Freak has finished the much anticipated review of the
Lite-On LDW-411S dual format DVD recorder. This drive writes both DVD+R and
DVD-R discs at 4x, does DVD+RW at 4x and DVD-RW at 2x. As Lite-On CD-RW drives
are/were very popular the expectations of this drive were very high.
Unfortunately our first tests were very disappointing but then Lite-On released a new firmware, fixing all of the problems we had.
| Part of conclusion: The out-of-the-box performance of this drive was not very good as there were a few serious DVD-R/RW writing issues present. But thankfully Lite-On released firmware FS0F that cured these problems and made the drive become a strong competitor to most other DVD-Writers. So if you have not already upgraded the firmware to version FS0F (or newer) we suggest that you do that to get the best experience with the drive. |
But was the upgrade enough to make this a killer drive, is it worth your money? You can find out by reading our Lite-On LDW-411S DVD±RW review. Discuss this drive in our Lite-On Forum.
