Is debro silly? - Club CDFreaks

*debro* · 09-08-2004

After my litey LDW811 died a incredibly weird death (to be RMA'd as of today

) or undeath as it may be, I couldn't wait the several weeks that it would take for the distributor to get me back my drive, so ran down to the fair and picked up an SOHW-812S, if only for the reason the presence of the NEC's was severely lacking. After the abysmal performance of my 811, and it's untimely, undeath, I feel no more loayalty to lite-on.

Regardless.......

Was it a good decision, or is debro way too frivolous with his hard earned (and girlfriend eroded) cash?

So does the 812s work?

Seems to

And the kprobe scans on my (unfortunately) RitekG03 media :z seems quite reasonable, in comparison to the 811s's unreadable CRC errors

IceBerg · 09-08-2004

Don't be fooled by those scans debro, mate I'm as silly as you, as you are going to find out

.

I did the same thing and yes scans are better than the old 411S but you will find that they don't have to be as bad to get similar results eg skipping etc.

I will say the drive is better than the 411S but as you know that don't say much, I would of got that NEC and payed extra if I needed to.

*debro* · 09-08-2004

Unfortunately, I wanted one now, and I can't find anywhere around here with the Damn NEC drive that I wouldn't have to wait to order in

.
I'd have payed up to $180 for the NEC, but most places online want upwards of $200!!! excluding P&H!
WTF?

Grrrrrr @ stupid retailers.

*debro* · 09-08-2004

Damn! just found the damn 2510 for $160 at umart!

I swear they wanted $200+ just 4 days ago

This is OK for all you Melbournians. Those of us in rural Australia in other states do not fare so well.

Where I live $159 for an 812S is the best available.

*damiandimitri* · 09-08-2004

it looks like some people want to be judged as silly some how....

they propably think they are to normal then

and if you are normal....BUY the new drive and enjoy it

www.umart.com.au

grab the NEC2510 for $160 + $15 P&H

http://www.cworld.com.au
They have the SOHW812S for $120 + P&H (probably about $20)
They do cheque, or credit card (CC has surcharge).

/me yawns with a sense of extreme lack of fanboi-ism

Is Debro silly? Nope. No more than the next man is, just for sticking with a brand he/she has interest in and follows the progress of closely.

My opinion through experience? I can no longer bank on liteon hardware in a mission critical situation. If it fails me - I am up the creek. Jobs would be lost, a great deal of money would be lost. I cannot afford this kind of goof.

I got an NEC. No longer do I need to verify every odd disc that I burn in paranoia in finding a CIRC error, like I did with the LiteOn hardware in various implementations.

Am I being too harsh? Maybe - hell, LiteOn hardware is still heaps of fun to play with! However, to me...its just a toy now. I blame it all on my "upbringing". NEC and Pioneer hardware suits me just fine now. ^_^

...

Feel free to slander/bitch/whinge/speak total garbage in response. This is just one man's opinion afterall.

IceBerg · 10-08-2004

@zebra
debro purchased another liteon drive, what I make of what you are saying is that he should of purchased the NEC hence doesn't that make him silly?

*zebra* · 10-08-2004
