| Philips DVDR1648 is a rebadged BenQ DW1640. Philips DVDR1660 is a rebadged BenQ DW1650. Both are good drives but I would go with the latest (Philips 1660).

| After that, my decision is 1660K. Thx for the help guys. |
| Well, you might also consider buying the Benq 1650 - same hardware, especially if you need some software, which is normally bundled with retail packages. In former times Philips has bundled full featured Nero Burning Rom instead of the crippled Nero Express, which is favoured by the competitors. Today, I had the opportunity to have a look at the package of the retail version in a local store. I was shocked: A Logo on the box states "Nero 6 DEMO bundled" (DEMO set in capital letters by me). So, the software package is absolutely useless, I would have paid the higher price compared to the Benq becaus of the better software. But now they can keep their stuff. Michael |
| Ok Michael. But as you can see here ---->Philips UK - Specifications of 1660K <---- philips 1660K has got so many software in its pack. |
| Hi, could you please tell me if the 1660k can do Overburn on DVD's ? Thanks |

Go for the 1660. I just had a 1640 RMA swapped for a 1660 (and also have the 1650) and they are both better drives than the 1640. In fact, you can improve the Philips 1660 by crossflashing it to the Benq 1650 firmware. |
| Thanks for your answers What are the advantages of flashing it with the benq 1650 firmware (can I go back after that using the philips firmware?)? I would prefer the benq, but I can't find it here in Portugal...Only the Philips recorder ( at 39 euros) |

As a Benq 1650, your drive will give you faster reading, better error reporting in scans, more options in QSuite to give you control over the drive's features and diagnostic tests. Also Benq issue new firmware more frequently than Philips. |
