    Liteon 24102B 24x10x40 IDE - Any good?

    Well, my HP9600 external SCSI 12x8x32 has proved such a monumental PITA that I've decided to send it back within 3 days of getting it.

    I can get a replacement Lite-On 24102B IDE cdrw for a few pounds more, although I really wanted to remain SCSI. Anyone have experience/comments on these?

    I seem to remember a thread about Lite-On drives but I cant find it when I search.

    I bought one of those a couple of months ago. Great drive works like a dream, burns a complete CD in around 3 minutes, my 2X was previously taking 40! Not really much more to say but I'd highly recommend it from my experience.

      It's the best drive on the market right now.

      It's the ONLY drive on the market that will cut the newest SafeDisc (which is currently used on Medal Of Honor).

      The only downside is its Digital Audio Extraction is NOT as good as the Plextor - but then again this is a $70 drive, not a $170 drive.

        Not only is it a nice drive (my experience is exactly like Ant's)
        They now have a 32x out for only a little more.
        I have not seen one in action though.

          Gurm,

          You sure about this? Umm I tried out a "backup" of My father's MOH:AA that was made either by his Plexor or Yamaha drive and it works fine so far....with a no cd "patch"

            I have one and it is great! Comes with Nero.

            The 24x is a badged Plextor. Is the 32?

              The 24x is NOT a rebadged plextor. The DAE is nowhere near as nice as the Plextor, and the Plextor can't rip the new SafeDisc.

              *ahem*

              If you run it with a no-cd "patch" then you have cracked it, haven't you? If you backed it up with CloneCD and the Liteon, you wouldn't need the "patch" - it would run as-is.

                  As you can see in my sig I have one, and its “the best” thing I ever bought burns everything I even copied my Operation Flashpoint with no problems, which is SafeDisk 2. Its quiet its fast its reliable and its cheap, what else can I say other then buy it. Although it aberrantly has some problems with Abit motherboards. You can check www.cdr-info.com there is dedicated Lite-On forum.

                      Note the "or something". We thought it might be, but since its capabilities are far different, and attempts to flash it with the Plextor firmware (and vice versa) have failed, we have determined that it is in fact Liteon's own creation.

                      Add to that the fact that while it is nice, it is substantially cheaper (in build quality) than your run-of-the-mill Plextor, and...

                        Fair 'nuf, Gurm

                        So what do we think of the 32x? Is it a faster version of the same fabulous drive?

                          All signs point to "yes" on the 32x. Little confirmation on cutting MOH's version of SD2, but it does APPEAR to be the same mechanism, only faster.
