BlackBeard used our newssubmit to tell us that HardwareZone has a review on the LiteOn LTR-24102B. This CDRW drive is able to write CD-R's at a maximum of 24 speed, rewrite at 10 speed, and read at 40 speed.
The drive has a 2 MB buffer and it also uses SMART-Burn (an anti coaster technology developed by LiteOn) to prevent you from buffer underruns. It also has an optimum power control technology so the writer is able to adapt to the inserted media.
Conclusion: |
The LiteOn recorder may not have the Plextor's 'robustness' nor Yamaha's sleek asthetics, and granted its reading and DAE results are a bit of a disappointment as well. But know that you're looking at a real affordable CD-Rewritable drive that gets the job done. As mentioned earlier, the LiteOn LTR-24102B is one excellent performance-to-cost solution. For just below $300, you have a reliable drive that burns fast, quietly and error-free. If you're on the hunt for a 24x recorder, I would say the LiteOn drive is one option you should find hard to miss.
As you see it's not a state of the art drive, but if you don't have a lot of money to spend you might consider to buy this LiteOn.
