| Hi There, Does anyone know how to fix my problem?  My BTC 1008 DVD Writer is recognized as: - 6-8x DVD player (shouldn't it be 12x ???) - 4x DVD+R writer (should be 8x  )- 2x DVD+RW/-R(W) (should be 4x) For CD-R(W) it seems to work fine. Also NERO tests give 1 MB/s burst??? While a pioneer A07 gives 14 MB/s.... Also updated my firmware to V0055 (from 0052), but nothing changed. I'm thinking of changing it for a NEC 2500 or a LiteOn 811s if this one is not working fine! Regards, Maarten |

| a ATA33 cable (40-pins) should be enough to connect it, or not? It doesn't reach a higher transferrate. |

| Checked it. Windows XP's setting on the IDE/ATAPI interface says DMA mode if available. Also Checked the bios, at first UDMA was disabled for all IDE ports (except the RAID controller where my HDD's are). I Putted the BIOS setting to UDMA, but no changes at all. Read spead keeps saying 8x and so on... strange... BTC doesn't convince me this way. Look... I want to plug'n'play with the drive! |
