| Should i get DW-1640 ? Recently two BenQ drives popped up in a shop near me, the DW-1670 and DW-1640. I wasn't expecting to see BenQ drives in shops any more and this is most probably the last chance to get a new BenQ.... The DW-1670 is kinda out of the game, but i'm a bit tempted by the 1640. However i'm not shure whether it is worth the price, considering the fact that i'm a happy owner of a Samsung SH-S182D and i don't really need a new drive. How good this drive actually is ? I'm the kind of guy who likes to play around with things, so i'd like to have fun with Qsuite and Quality scanning (although my S182D is a reasonable scanner). So the great question is: should i get the BenQ now, even if i can live without a second drive, or instead buy a LiteOn later, when my Samsung dies ? What do you think ? |

| Re: Should i get DW-1640 ? In my personal experience the benq 1640 is a very good drive. Its only "defect" is that have an issue when burning @16x +R media, but this can be easily corrected simply burning @12x. If I could I will buy another 1640 or also a 1655, but too bad I can't find anymore these drives

 Sold for the German standard price of € 40, the universal price of each and every DVD burner except Plextor. (Yes, expensive, but burners and media are taxed in a lot of European countries. But we don't do anything naughty...) Maybe I should buy one too, but the BenQ brand is very unpopular in Germany because they closed down their mobile phone factories here in an objectionable way... If I see any LiteOn DW1650 in a local shop (too lazy to order online) I will pick up one of those because the LiteOn name is still politically correct enough.
