great review, great drive. just the slow bd writing speed is an additional negative point.

lappes · 07-12-2006

hi all,

anybody running that drive with Windows Vista final?
I'm facing problems to get it up and running....
BIOS is recognizing the BD, but Vista is still denying it...:-(
MB is ASUS M2N32WS Professional

any hints?

thx, lappes

*mognegna* · 07-12-2006

Fantastic drive!
The only negative point is the price.

And what's the difference between LH-2B1S and LH-2E1S (found on f/w list) ?

The LH-2E1S should be a Blu-ray combo drive, meaning it can burn i.e DVD’s but only read Blu-ray.

Jan70,

In the feature list of the drive, it says that it'll write -R and -RE dual layer media. Does such a thing yet exist? I didn't see any in the review. Great review, though. Very complete. I hope we start seeing a way to do good quality scans of this media class. Let's hole Lite-ON continues in their trend of providing good scanners as well as great writers.

Cheers.

paaghi · 11-12-2006

Has anybody got this drive to se BD-RE50 meida. Everytime I try 50gb re media if locks up the machine and then I'm stuck rebooting it.

*El_Mariachi_X* · 30-12-2006

c'mon dudes make a cd/dvd/hddvd/bluray burner drive!!

*chok0* · 30-12-2006

i think HDDVD is the same thing as DVD-R -> crap
it's nothing more than money making.

**alan1476** · 30-12-2006

Someone said they are using the BenQ-Phillips Nexperia Chipsets in these. I ahve to read this review very closely. Thanks Jan.

T3R · 07-02-2007

Did someone noticed that in official specs there is no mention of BD-R 50/BD-RE 50 media read/write support? But, according to CDF review, there was, only at 1x speed though. It seems they have changed the specs on the main page and in pdf documentation in the meantime. Even retail stores do not list this feature.

vid-freak · 18-05-2007

Is there anymore about the 4x BD-R writing thats supposed to be added in a future firmware.

I checked the lite-on website but there is nothing but updates for more media

Hey guys and dolls
A short note to voice my outrage at this piece of junk called a lite-on sohw-1693s . It started its nonsense a few weeks ago and has now stopped reading or writing, of course the shop where I bought the unit has closed down
and am told just to replace. From the get go this drive has been a piece of rubbish . Would be interested if anyone else has the same problems. The drive is not even a year old.

kg_evilboy · 18-05-2007

That's unrelated

Have you ensured that it doesn't work in another computer?

vid-freak · 23-05-2007

I have contacted Lite-On and they state that the drive will only read and burn BD discs at 2x and will *NOT* be upgraded for 4x burning.

Please append or remove the part about 4x writing from the review, unless you know something i don't which is quite possible.

*_chef_* · 26-06-2007

Uhm, surely this info comes from a reliable source.

*_chef_* · 10-09-2007

I wonder why Liteon doesn't mention BD DL writing abilities on their official product info site................

Were BD DL writing tested?
