Before I have GSA-4160B it is so quiet (close to no noise I can say) in reading DVD. The reason I changed to H10N just is because I changed my case color from beige to black. I love my GSA-4160B as it has no problem at all after burning 500+ DVDs and no noise at all in reading. Now with H10N is too noisy in reading, it is too annoying with noise in watching avi movies on DVD.
I don’t care how noisy in DVD burning, but in reading I don’t wanna hear “frrreeeee” noisy sound in watching videos.
If no way to lower reading speed, I may buy another black 4x DVD reader or return this H10N and buy a black 4160B on ebay…
