The Lite-On IT 20x Super AllWrite DVD Multi Drive offers blazing-fast recording speeds for both DVD and CD media. SMART-BURN technology avoids Buffer UnderRun Error, automatically adjusting writing strategy and running OPC to provide the best burning quality. The drive's SMART-X function adjusts CD-DA / VCD / DVD data extraction to a fastest allowable speed according to both data request rate from host and disk quality. Through drive's self-learning function, SMART-WRITE technology automatically detects and decides the optimal write strategy of DVD recordable media (DVD+R + DVD-R) for the best quality recording. minimize

5 Star Review Liteon makes cool DVD/RW

Strengths:

Dual Layer DVD±RW Writer 16x/8x/20x DVD+RW, 16x/6x/20x DVD-RW, 8x DVD±RW, 12x DVD-RAM and Lightscribe

Weaknesses:

NONE

Posted May 2, 2007 - I love this burner I have maybe burned close to 200 DVD's and about 50 CD's and not a single coaster. Also so far it has read all kinds of blank media, samsung, compusa, memorex, playo...and I even tried some no names and they all work. Buy it and you don't be sorry.

5 Star Review Very good burner, on a par with NEC and Ben-Q drives I've owned

Strengths:

Fast, quiet, LightScribe

Weaknesses:

None

Posted Mar 22, 2007 - I bought this drive to place into an external enclosure, and it works great. I've burned a few discs at 20x successfully, though I wouldn't recommend anyone do that regardless of the drive. Also have burned about a dozen dual-layer discs without a problem. I burn with solely TY and Verb media, so I wasn't expecting any problems anyway. Highly recommended.

5 Star Review LITEON 20 X DVD Writer with Lightscribe (picture!)

Strengths:

Same as everyone else has mentioned. Extremely versatile drive. $22 after rebate!

Weaknesses:

Nothing so far.

Posted Mar 21, 2007 - I've only had this drive for a couple of days but so far am very impressed with it. Incredible drive for 20X burning and includes Lightscribe, which was something I have been looking for, for awhile. Thought I would post a picture so people could see what it actually looks like (just like every other drive!) - hopefully it loads. Also includes white face plate.

5 Star Review Nice burner.

Strengths:

Fast, good brand, writes on everything, dual bezels, price.

Weaknesses:

none

Posted Mar 14, 2007 - Got this unit for a very good price. It looks cool and burns everything. CDR, DVDR, DL, RAM, you name it, its there. Also has lightscribe. I have no media supporting that but everything else burns fast and works fine. Its great that they included nero7 and also dual color bezels. For the price and quality of the unit, its a no-brainer.

5 Star Review good drive and good price

Strengths:

Easy to install, works right away, good price.

Weaknesses:

not yet.

Posted Mar 9, 2007 - It is fast. It writes on lightscribe, a plus for me. It is a PATA that I can put it in my old pentium machine. a reliable drive. I was afraid the noise level being too high as described by other. but not this one.

5 Star Review Fantastic Buuner

Strengths:

Very fast reading & writing

Weaknesses:

Does not come with a ribbon cable

Posted Mar 4, 2007 - 1. Very fast burner Staples (-R) DVDs Burn @20X Sony (+R) DVDs brn @18X Staples (+R) DVDs Burn @16X 2. Comes with Nero 7 3. As with ANY BURNER, DO NOT USE as a slave drive. Purchase an PATA interface card (for around $16.00). Run every drive as a master. 4. Blows Plextor burners away!!!!

4 Star Review LITEON LH20A1H186 20X Double Layer DVD Writer

Strengths:

Fast, Good outlook, cheap

Weaknesses:

noisy, expected 1-2 year life (Most Lite on drivers is not durable, but 2 years is enough for me)

Posted Mar 9, 2007 - Works great burned a CD or DVD up to 20x.Most DVD burners burn DVDs at a pretty slow speed while this one pretty fast. It is a good choice for a cheap lightscribe and double layer DVD writer.

4 Star Review Great Drive, Burns Fast and Quiet

Strengths:

Quiet, speedy

Weaknesses:

Included Software.

Posted Mar 24, 2007 - I've been happy with this drive. The SmartWrite has worked without fail. This is my first LightScribe drive and I'm really impressed with the ease of use. The included Nero software wasn't very useful.

5 Star Review You NEED This Drive!!!

Strengths:

Good value,DVD-RAM compatible,Lightscribe,smaller than my old CD drive

Weaknesses:

DVD-RAM-12X speed disks are not avalible yet

Posted Apr 1, 2007 - It was fast on all the media that I used in it. Extra beige faceplate.Easy to read manual with good ideas on the best way to hook the drive to your system. NERO 7 Essentials CD is included too and it works great. A lot better than the old CD Creator software that I tried to use with it. The drive only cost me $38.00 The main thing I really wanted to use in it was the DVD-Ram media. It is the best rewritable media out there. It is set up like a hard drive on the disk not on a spiral like DVD+-RW is. It will be great if I can get the 12X speed media so the writing speeds up some.

1 Star Review LITE ON lh-20a1h-186c 20x lightscribe dual DVD rewritable drive

Strengths:

Well none that i can think of. The first one i bought lasted me about 20 burns. So i got a new replacement one and that one lasted like 5 burns

Weaknesses:

Everything about this drive is week. The first one i though we ll maybe i just got a bad one but when i got the replacement and it died right away i realized it was obviously not a very good drive

Posted Jan 19, 2008 - The original drive in my computer was this same brand i had no problems with it at all. I for sure burned like 5000 different times with the original drive so i figured it was a good drive so that is why i chose to buy another one from this company. But like i said above i went through two of them in 2 months or less. I would not recommend this drive at all to anyone. I am writing this review to be help full to buyers in the market not to knock this company in anyway i just don't want someone to end up in the same mess i was in . Thanks for reading and i hope it was help full information

5 Star Review LiteOn LH-20A1H DVD Writer Review

Strengths:

Super fast drive. Burned various brands of + or - media that I have without a hiccup.Of all the writers I've owned , this one's the smoothest and fastest. Includes a black and beige bezel also.

Weaknesses:

Slightly noisy at 20X speed, but that was expected and not annoying.

Posted Mar 16, 2007 - The typical LiteOn quality exists in this drive. Seems sturdy and well built. LiteOn includes Nero Essentials with this unit to aid in perfect DVD burning.I highly recommend this drive for the latest in technology.

2 Star Review bought two and only one has worked

Strengths:

one works fine

Weaknesses:

the other doesn't, including the two replacements they sent me!!!!

Posted Oct 1, 2007 - If your burner works then you should be fine but if not then you'll have a hard time trying to get a functioning one!!! I have owned four previous Lite On products and they have worked well, just not this one.

4 Star Review Very good burner!

Strengths:

Burn DVD, CD very fast and reliable. The lightscribe works very well on lightscribe supported DVD and CD. The software (Nero Essential) is easy to use and install.

Weaknesses:

The noise is too loud, even I think it would not burn my DVD correctly.

Posted May 16, 2007 - This is a very good DVD/CD burner. It supports almost all type of media and write DVD/CD reliably even at high burning speed. Also, lightscribe function works very well. In addition, the length of this drive is short so that I could install it in a 5.25 bay that could not be used to install other typical CD/DVD drivers with longer length. The loud noise is the only problem of this burner.
