This looks pretty good value for money as a data backup device - bit concerned over the review that speaks of almost all disks had errors - not so good! Does anyone out there have any experience of this beast - are the errors managed in any way?

ASUS finally released a new firmware for the drive (version 1.11). I have not tried it to see if it fixed the writing quality at all. Has anyone else?

It's gone a bit quiet - obviously not a RW used by lots of you! Ian, you said there was a new firmware - will this be included in new units or do you have to install it - if so, do you need special equipment to do this?

It's easy to install. You download two files, run the exe in Windows, pick the file and reboot when its done.

It looks like ASUS has the 1.12 firmware there too.
