LG-4163b vs. LG-H10N
Posted: Tue Aug 08, 2006 10:00 am
Was thinking of changing my 4173b for the H10N....anyone have both to compare? Is the jitter really bad in the H10N ?
Any input is great!!!!

which drive exactly are you going to use ?

plenty of discussion about this at cdreaks, maybe you should check out their LG forum.

Here is a scan of the same disc burned by a H10L scanned by a Lite-On, BenQ and Plextor writer. The Plextor writer wasn't used for a jitter scan, but it does show that the PIE and PIF levels shown by the BenQ are not accurate :

... well, that's about all we have in the absence of a CATS analysis anyway.
dolphinius_rex : looking forward to those CATS scans too.

dolphinius_rex wrote:The BenQ isn't just randomly skewing results. Also, the PIF results seem to match quite nicely between the Plextor, LiteON, and BenQ drive.
karangguni wrote:Neither of the other two drives report PIF totals anywhere as high as the BenQ though. The question then is how Plextor's vs Lite-On's reporting of PIF levels on discs burned with other drives compares. I'm wondering if Plextor writers always report higher PIF levels than Lite-On writers when both scan discs. I don't a Plextor drive though, so I can't do tests to find out.
