LiteOn 52x32x52 CDRW Review


It's been ages since I saw a good old fashioned CD-RW review. However, not everyone needs the latest DVD burners when a more inexpensive CDRW will suffice.
The Lite-On SOHR-5238S is a very capable drive when it comes to CD-R media, the burn quality is very good indeed. The SOHR-5238S is also a very fast and reliable reader and can also read protected media well. Digital Audio Extraction quality is also a plus point with this drive and consistently impressed us with the DAE speed and quality.

The SOHR-5238S is let down by poor CD-RW write quality, and this is really the only bad point about the drive.

If you are in the market for a fast CD reader, with good CD-R write quality, and don’t wish to spend a great deal of cash on a drive. Then this drive might be just the drive you have been looking for. If however you are looking for a drive that has a high write quality with CD-RW media, then this may not be the drive for you.
