CD Freaks presents Lite-On SOHW-812S DVD±RW review

Today, or actually
yesterday, we have added a new review to our review database
as Tor Magne, better known as OC-Freak, has
taken a look at the Lite-On SOHW-812S dual format DVD recorder. The Lite-On drive
supports 8x recording to both DVD-R and DVD+R media while DVD-RW and DVD+RW
media can both be written at 4x. Of course the Lite-On drive can also write CD-R
media, at 40x, and CD-RW media, at 24x. Here's part of the conclusion:

First of all it's one of the few DVD-Writers to support
'correct EFM encoding of regular bit patterns", this makes it a number one
choice for backing up protected games. While we are at it we could also
mention that it has no problems with protected audio discs either. And the
reading performance with most disc types is very good, this includes
DVD-Video discs which most other drives reads at low speeds. The writing
quality at 8x DVD+R speed is very good, and the writing quality with most
quality 4x discs is good too. CD-Writing is both fast (40x) and good with
almost all disc types. On top of this it supports bitsetting for DVD+R/RW
discs.

If you want to find out if the Lite-On SOHW-812S drive, currently priced at
less than US$ 100, had any negative points you will have to read the
complete review here. If you want to comment on this review you are welcome to
