Can we have a review on the drive please. Thanks

Demian0 · 28-09-2006

Hello Jan,

short question: Did you get your drive in Germany ?

I looked for it at any online-store I knew, but couldn`t find it.

A guy at the German Lite-On Hotline told me, the LH-18A1P will not be available here before end of october...

Wow. Beautiful PIF, but awful PIE.
At least LiteOn finally optimized their strategies for 16x Taiyo Yuden.

When Lite- on has new firmware out could samsung 182 cross fiash be possible.

MediumRare · 28-09-2006

Looks good. Does it support the advanced tests (Beta, Jitter, TE/FE) with DVDScan?

i don't think it's possible. both drives share the same chipset, but that isn't enough for the firmware to work.

would be silly if it doesn't.

Could the samsung and lite-on share more than just the same chipset?

*chok0* · 28-09-2006

i don't think they do, but they have to be the exact same drives (hardwarewise) to allow crossflashing.
ok, there are some exceptions like the liteon 451s which can be upgraded to 832s, but that's not comparable with these new drives.

we need a full review of every mechanical part to be sure...

Could they be the same drives from the same factory in China? Just sold under different names.

And how would that info give any advance?

*chok0* · 28-09-2006

@ntss
neither the previous mediatek based samsung nor the new mtk based samung were liteon rebadges.
the samsung is not a liteon.
hope that aswers your questions.

Hi Demian,

The drive was provided by Lite-On for our evaluation/testing purpose.

So it could be that the drive will be available in Germany in October.

Nice thread.

A little disappointed though that the 20x Liteons wouldn't be out so soon.

Jan, would it be possible to have a review of this drive please. Also could there be any product changes before it goes into retail manufacturing?

Thanks

Hi Zion12, and welcome to our forum.

Yes, I will make a preview of the Lite-On 18A1P as soon as possible; however I need to wait until the replacement drive arrives, as something unexpected happened to the first drive.

To answer you second question very short, I am not aware for any (product) changes at this time. The first drive I got was manufactured in August 2006 and uses the MediaTek MT1898E – 0628-ACSL KHC05 chipset.

Thanks Jan70. Looking forward to your review. My LG GSA 4163B died on me and I was suggested to go for a Liteon. By reading news post I learnt that is 18x burner is expected sometime in Oct 2006. Was just curious to know how the first 18x Liteon drive would perform and if it is worth the investment.

GoFuYo · 17-10-2006

Hi Jan70 - any news about the review? I´m ardently waiting for it

Is the LH-18A1P already available in Germany (stores)?

*kg_evilboy* · 17-10-2006

A Froogle search reveals that a few websites already have it stocked.
It may be that it shows up at specialized computing stores such as Arlt or K&M soon. Not so sure about Media Markt or Saturn, they rarely stock LiteOn anyway.
