BadReligionPR used our newssubmit to tell us that Tom's Hardware just reviewed the Waitec Frisby II, an external USB 2.0 writer based on the Lite-On LXR-40122 A/B. If you read our reviews then you will know the pros and cons of Lite-On writers. In this review we see the same conclusions.
The writing quality to CD-R media is good, but the FrisbyII's rewriting performance is not its strong point. Its reading performance with CD-RWs certainly is. Overall the writer/rewriter is a very capable performer, which gains extra brownie points for its highly capable error correction.
Measuring 15.8 x 3.9 x 21.5 cm (W x H x D) and weighing in at 1.1 kg (including power supply and cable), this drive is recommended for mobile computing. At 215 euros (street price) the unit is hardly a bargain. But, unfortunately, that's the price we have to pay for mobility.
I guess this is not the kind of writer most of us are looking for, the problem of most portable drives. If want to know more about this drive, visit the experts at our General Hardware Forum.
