User Review - Liteon XJ-HD166s.

I have put together a small user review of Liteon XJ-HD166s 16x DVDROM that I bought yesterday.

DVD testings to come soon, due to difficulties on my side.

OK, let me share my problem with you guys.

I have listed my system specs in that PDF file, and have DMA enabled on all drives.

However, my problem (not only to this Liteon drive but also to my Sony 16x, LG 16x, AOpen 16x and Pioneer 16x) is that my DVD read speed (I tried with many different DVDROMs and DVD-Video discs) max out @ 10x, then the speed decreases a bit. The reader starts @ about 6.87x and peaks @ 10.3x, then slows down to about 8x @ the end of the disc.

What do you guys suggest? I tried formatting the HD, reinstall XP, also same thing happens.

I will soon put the complete testings on web site instead of PDF file because I just learnt how to use FrontPage

Stupid me, just read the other threads that I have the exact same problem as "vbl117"...

Finally, all done, except no DVD+-R/RW testings.
