Advantages: Comes with a lot of useful software

The Benq Dwq1600 ia a robust DVD rewriter, which comes complete with software and plenty of built in technology disigned to ensure correct playing of unlevel DVDS and CDS.
The software you get free is WinDVD Creator 2.8B, Win DVD4.0B, Record now! 7.1, Sonic DLA 4.9.
I did find there to be a few problems with this drive, For a start it is only compatible with DVD+RW and DVD+R standards, there is no headphone outlet or volume control.
** The Overall ... ...this is due to not having a volume control and a headphone jack. There is a however a LED light as this shows you when the drive is actively writing to disc.

The BENQ DW1670 an excelent all round choice
Review of BenQ DW1670 by
Blaklite
Advantages: Compatiable with all major formats
Disadvantages: Not much
...failed burning attempts. With the BENQ I have had no, yes no failed disks, even with the cheaper non branded flavour of disks. In addition when I finally tracked down a listing of the drives abilities, I found that it was compatible with all the major media types, including dual layer DVD's, which are becoming more necessary with the increasing size of games and amount of data to be backed up.
All in all I am very grateful to my supplier for selecting ...

Liteon LH20A1H LIGHTSCRIBE DVD WRITER
Review of LiteOn LH-20A1H by
TheTechGuy0
Advantages: Fast Write speeds, wide compatibilty, 20 speed dvd writing and CHEAP
Disadvantages: Not any that i've experienced!!
I found this to be an excellent drive as i picked up one for around £30 and that was when it came out(last year, june). I think that this is an excellent drive for the fact it has a wide range of DVD and CD writing features; 20 speed writing, my favourite feature is the light scribe feature which allows you to design your own cd labels on a special 'lightscribe disc'. The Drive was also quiet, but not too quiet. I found the OEM Box that the drive ...

LG GSA H42N Super-Multi Review
Review of LG GSA H42N Super-Multi by
plunt
Advantages: Very Cheap, Changeable cover panels, Fast Speed
Disadvantages: No firmware, Region Locked, Major issues with burning regular cd's
...and thus bought it as LG has become more reputable.
The Pros
This drive was very easy to install. It was practically a plug and play drive. It also came with different front panels in order to change colors from black and white. Although this may seem pointless it is a factor to take into consideration if you are after certain specification like color for your computer. The drive has never had a problem playing any cd's DVD's and etc. It ... ...this drive as it seems LG has forgotten about this drive and moved on.
3) This final problem is the killer part of this drive and the reason it is ranked so low. When durng xvid files and various other files onto a CD to watch on an xvid player and part of the files which are over 350 mb will not work. Thus typically TV shows are 350 mbs and meaning half the disc is wasted. Despite the cheap prices of CD's these days it still is a waste. Conclusion ...
