Advantages: Fast and Cheap! Disadvantages: Pathetic Manual & Dies after a few months
...drives
I bought my LiteOn SHOW-1633S about 8 months ago.
During the first 5 or 6 months, I had no problems - the drive was very fast and stable. All my DVDs and CDs came out perfectly! I used various brands and the drive had no problem reading and writing them. However, the problems all started. I was burning a CD and suddenly it stopped. The drive wouldn't read or write any CDs in any of the operating systems I used, yet it would read the DVDs ... ...one for DVDs the other for CDs. What had happened was that the CD laser had broken, meaning I couldn't use any of my CDs.
I promptly got the drive replaced, and the store sent me another. The same happened but with the DVD laser about 3 months later!
I wouldn't recommend this drive to anyone, even when it was put through light use it failed. It's worth spending the extra £5 or £10 and getting a better drive! ...
