Lite-On LDW-811S DVD±R/RW Review

CDFreaks has reviewed the Lite-On LDW-811S 8x dual format DVD-writer:

Specification wise it seems to be a good competitor to drives like the Plextor PX-708A. Our expectations for this drive is very high due to the fact that our previous Lite-On drives have been very good performers, especially when considering the price of the drives. In this review we will try to find out how good it really performs by taking it through several extensive tests.

It’s also worth mentioning that the drive has a pretty good retail package and at a price of only $ 124 USD it stands quite strong to most other retail packaged drives. To sum it all up this is the best we could say “A good all-rounder that needs some polishing”. Even if the drive has some weaknesses compared to some other drives, it makes up for this with being stronger in other areas like game backup abilities and music ripping capabilities. It’s also rather unique as it’s the first dual format drive to officially support Bitsetting/book type changing, because of all the things that makes this drive special we hands out a “Best value award” to it.
