Lite-On SOHW-812S Dual DVD?RW Writer
User Reviews for Lite-On SOHW-812S Dual DVD?RW Writer

Reviewed by: frequentonlineshopper
Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Quiet, Fast, No problem burning CDs
Weaknesses: Very picky to DVD media.
Overall Evaluation: I'm not sure if it's just me got a lame, but it's very picky to DVD media. My DVD-Burner on my IBM ThinkPad works fine with almost any DVD media. But this one just doesn't liked some media I gave to it, including 8x Memorex DVD-R. I have tried it in a Desktop PC as well as in a USB enclosure connected to my ThinkPad, to prove that it's not system or software related. I have updated it to the latest firmware I can find from their site. None of these helped.
