I’m going to buy a new SATA burner, but I don’t know the differences beetween H66N and H62N ?
Has someone got any informations about H66N ?
Seems it has Securdisc, so maybe its the same as H62N, but with Securdisc.
The H62N is nice but I seriously think LG has forgotten about this drive as there is no still no new firmware for it.
For the last couple of years LG has not done a good job of providing firmware updates for their drives. Instead, they just release a new model. I think they make decent drives but do not commit themselves to them in any way. I have a few LG’s including the GSA-H62N… Great DVD burner… Horrible CD-R burner… I don’t expect it to be fixed, but perhaps the 66N is improved.
SecureDisc is a waste in my opinion…
is it sure that H66 is a renesas based drive like H62 or is it a panasonic chip based drive like H55?
is there anyone who can confirm this?
LG usually releases drive series numbers in like chipsets…
i.e.
H1x, H4x, H6x have been Renesas
H2x, H3x, H5x have been Panasonic
Sorry, im not sure, because i found on a site some specs of the drive:
DVD-R/-RW-/ROM (SL/DL): 16x/12x max
DVD-Video (CSS) : 8x max. (Single/Dual Layer)
DVD+R/+RW: 16x/12x max
DVD-R : 2x, 4x CLV, 8x ZCLV, 12x PCAV, 16x CAV
CD-R: 16x CLV, 24x ZCLV, 40x, 48x CAV
I think Renesas Reads DVDRW at 13x, and DVD-Video at 4,8x, and burns 40x CD-R in ZCLV Mode.
I remember that Renesas don´t offer 12x DVD-R
But it burns 48x Z-CLV
wow i did not even know about a H66N/L model being out 
I thought these nice new reading/writing SATA drives would keep the install/burning questions down 
guess not 
I have had nothing but good luck with them 
(SATA H62L and a PATA H42N) I also have 3 SATA Samsungs 
I’d say it’s surely a Renesas based drive (probably H62+SecurDisc), since the quality scan of a cd-r burned at high speed produces C2 errors 
Also, it seems there is no 12x option for DVD-R. The specifications on web sites are often wrong and misleading.
Indeed I have no 12x option for the -R Verbatim and Sony media using the 62L drive. Firmware issues like this make this drive less attractive IMO. Still burns better than my new Samsung 203B though!
