sir spaceman,
so wat do you suggest? the Lite-On SHW-16H5S or Lite-On SHM-165H6S? considering na darating nanaman yung mga makabagong media..nakakalito eh..ok rin ba yung LG GSA-H10N (dvd-ram burning capable din wla lang light scribe)..tnx!
heh heh... if i had a choice and i could spare the cash. go for the 165H6S. not because it has DVD-RAM capability, but more because it supports hypertuning and overburning. (the 16H5S does not.) and it also has some performance tweaks that makes it read and burn a little faster.
unfortunately, budget was a HUGE consideration for me back when i was shopping for a recorder... so the 16H5S was the answer to my prayers. ang habol ko talaga noon was the lightscribe feature. i could live without the DVD-RAM (300pesos per media?? uh, pass!). and i can definitely be happy with a drive that burns a few seconds slower than the other models i was considering (benq and sony).
you're lucky you have a choice na. 2 months ago, wala kang makikita pa na 165H6S sa market.
don't be too concerned with the new media's yet (HDD and Blu-Ray)... i forsee that these products won't saturate the market for at least another year or two. by then, with regular use, your new dvd recorder should have worked its worth back and more.
Pinaka astig? Plextor seympre. Pero dito sa pinas, Lite-On pa rin. price-performance ratio walang tatalo sa Lite-On for me.
Although minsan pag diredirecho burning mo, mga tipong 200 cds/dvds na burning na sunod sunod, bumibigay din.
200 consecutive burns? gee! i think abuse like that would break any recorder, regardless of brand.
