Guys, this is for anyone who is buying LiteOn LH-20A1P. I am using the drive for last one year. Its a good burner and a speedy drive but it has loads of problems reading dual layer dvds. Many will tell you that its a firmware problem, but actually it is not. I have upgraded to KL0N, but till date, I have found numerous dual boot DVDs which dont play with LiteOn, which otherwise play perfectly on my Samsung SH-203B. Its not SATA though, but I think the problem will persist in LH-20A1S also.
On your question now:

Buy Pioneer 212D or Samsung SH-S203B. Pioneer is hard to find though.

Lite-on/Samsung ... among the best in market rt now, however i think samsung is bit cheaper.

+1 for the Samsung SH-S203B

got it sometime back... burnt over 80 DVDs with only a couple failing coz of copy protection.. media used was Master(DVD identifier shows it as Ritek media)

thanks for the suggestions frnds...will search for pioneer and some gud models in liteon.

Pioneer belongs to the elite club.. A li'l expensive... But does the job..

I'd sugest get the S203B.. their tie-up with Toshiba has proven wrong tat Samsung drives aint any good..

 

[cOOl_chap]

i got the new Asus 20X LS sata......does the job well...

Well the JV between them known as TSST has been there for more than 5 years I know. They churned out lot of junk in that period so its nothing like u said.The SH 203B is one of the 1st face saving buners from TSST Corp

^^^Oh neve knew... thanx fer the info...

 

[Arun.P]

if you budget is low get samsung sata for 1.2k

 

[tusharrastogi]

budget is not a problem. but do let me know if pioneer is the best one in sata series or something is even better than pioneer. also if someone can let me know the market prices for pioneer + samsung and if the third option anyone can suggest. so that i have 3 choices among which i can buy one.

 

[TheIndian]

how many Disks do you plan on burning?

 

[sri_rng]

Go for Lite-On .. I think they have a JV with Moser Baer now...

i have samsung sh203 and sony prefer samsung though(they make cooler LCDs haha)

 

[janitha]

I may be wrong but I think Asus drives are re-badged Pioneer and if so, a good option. Secondly, out of very good experience for the past few months, I do suggest SH-S203B. It is cheap also.
