I own a 1620, 3 1640's, a 1650, and an LH-20A1P that masquerades as a 2000 sometimes. I've also donated a 1620, a 1640 and a 1650 to family members.

I also had another 1620 that I threw out last year. After successfully weaning me from Plextor's DVD burners, it put in a lot of work as my main burner for over a year and died in the line of duty. Sorry, zevia--I didn't setup a shrine in its honor.

WOW! Do you actually use all the 1655s or do you just have a lot of back-ups?

Ichi, and not more.
Surprising to see that so many have hamstered lots of BenQs. IMO, there are newer drives to come that are even more interesting - but the BenQs are classics and its Advanced Disc Quality test is unsurpassed for this price class.

You don't want to know. I feel guilty but I know these are getting scarcer by the moment and I really like them. I will admit to have 4 unopened Retail BenQ DW1655s, but having said that the BenQ DW1620 is my favorite with the DW 1640 close behind. I have more of those than I do the DW1655s.

I have one 1655 in an external enclosure. Seeing all these people owning multiple drives is there a BenQ cult that I am not aware of?

I guess so. The BenQ forum is also the least safe place to make an ass of yourself. I think that's why I bought some Pioneers and have been bothering that forum for a while. BenQ cultists take their burning seriously.

I needed something to burn DVDs with my old laptop that had only a CD burner. I came here for information before I bought the drive. I read good remarks for the 1655 model but had no idea people were collecting them like stamps!
