This is my first optical drive review, and notably the 1st review of this new drive from LiteOn. Needless to say, I'm quite proud as it's far better than what PC Mag and PC World combined tell you about a new drive. Enjoy!
In conclusion, this drive performed very well overall. While I was disappointed with the 16X DVD+R writing performance, all the other discs burnt had a low amount of errors indicating a high quality burn. Compatibility was also very good, as most discs played in the tested players. The drive performed well in reading tasks, and was very good at CD burning tasks, on both CDR and rewritable media. With better quality media, and a firmware upgrade or two, I’m sure the 16x writing quality will improve to match its slower brethren. With its strong software package, including Nero burning ROM, and Power DVD, the LiteOn 1693S is “LD Approved.”
