| Brilliant review, Dee! Thank you very much for taking your time to do it. ![]() If you'd like me to check over the review [check for typos], let me know. ![]() As of right now, I only see a couple of typos [that I figured I would point out]: Introduction page: "Our package was the bulk version and contained the Lite-On LH-2-A1L drive, fixing screws, software CD-ROM, and manual." Conclusiong page: " Negative: * Introduction Noise levels are high when the drive is running at high speed. "

| Very good and extensive review Dee-27 ![]() I have an observation though regarding overspeeding media test results : Why not also test at the maximum rated speed ? different batches of media can cause problems when overspeeding and that is the fault of the media , not the burner

| @geerten I have no knowledge of an ongoing 7200 review. So far, Optiarc hasn't sent any one in the review team one for review. Regarding the advanced tests. We are in the process of restructuring our reviewing methods and testing procedures. The advance tests you mentioned, will be back in my reviews very soon. Along with a few more advanced tests. ![]() @minaelromany All my review media is kept separate from my own stuff. The same batches are used for all reviews. I know for a fact these discs are good. Regarding (overspeed) We always burn the media for our reviews at the maximum allowed by the drive. If a manufacturer claims a disc can be burned faster than its rated speed. It should be able to do this.

| My only question is what was the firmware level of the the drive at the time of the review? This information is always handy for any drive review because it allows one to check the manufacturer's website to see if they may have just put out a more current version that possibly addresses the detected shortcomings. |

![]() Another observation : jitter levels ! Why don't you use nero cd/dvd speed for scanning which also has jitter testing ?

| No, i burned 2 discs. The first one was the better of the two, but not by much and that is the one i used in the review. Same applies to other media which didn't get as good a result as expected. Although sometimes the second burn was better, again, not by much.

| I was eagerly awaiting a review of this model here @ CDFreaks.com. Thanks and for this review!Useful indeed, I am currently in the market for a LiteOn LH-20xAy drive and this SATA LightScribe could very well be the drive of choice for my "soon" next to be system...

| I am really surprised that the DVD+RW 8x Verbatim result were that good. In the test by c't (german mag) this DVD+RW got really bad results. Same drive, same firmware, discs tested by Audiodev.... Aside from that result, they stated: This drive is the best Liteon has published yet! A really good overall performer.

| It's a pretty good drive if your system supports SATA CD/DVD drives. The PATA equivalent ends with an "H" but the newest models have a different naming scheme, e.g. iHAS322 for the SATA 22x model. |

That said, the scanning speed usually recommended here is 4X. |
