liteon dvd 8 speed burner + - rw

[gandalf72]

Found this one for £129, one word of caution though when I went to liteon website could not find any mention of the model. I have personally bought lots of stuff from here with no problems over past 5 years though and they are a legit shop.

http://www.pless.co.uk is the site and on the front page you will see that its priced at £139 but if you go to the pdf file it is at £129 and I phoned shop to confirm they have stock and it is £129.

Dont know if there is any 8 speed drive media though?

didnt think the drive was onsale yet, as for media they are a few x4 dvd-r that will write at x8 allegedly

I was in there today, it's priced at £129 on their price list which I picked up while there The optorite 8x model is the same price but as mentioned there is no DVD media advertised suitable for 8x writing.

cheers,

out of interest does anyone know if the liteon drive does 8 speed on a -r or -rw disk?

[biggy7]

i think it only does 8x on the + mate.

the new pioneer A07 is the first 8x writer to do both - and + at 8x

any idea when the 107 /a07 will be released? Tia
