LG Electronics GSA4163B 16x Super Multi Triple...

Strengths: Multi-Format solves nearly all burning challenges

Weakness: Does not support RAM disks in cartridges

I bought this drive for its ability to handle DVD+R and RAM disks. It does this quickly determining the disk type within 30 seconds. It also handled scratched CD's with ease, and also DVD-R. I have not tried using double layer disks since they are too expensive at this time. Setup is instantaneous in Windows XP. So far, burning 20 assorted DVD's and RAM disks has been 100% perfect with no
coasters.Highly recommended

Great Burner ........until it dies a quick death

Strengths: Will burn many formats with ease

Weakness: after LAST session of burning 6 dvds in a row, it died

My supplier pulled these from their shelves after MANY returns. All had a similar experience. After a while this burner just dies. The last disc it burned will be great just like all the others, then all of a sudden its dead. Great when working...............

LG Electronics GSA4163B 16x Super Multi Triple...

Strengths: Wide range of media compatibility. Good burner. See Below

Weakness: None

Works well with the following media: Ricojpn r01 (dvd+r) at 4x, maxell 02 (+r) at 8x, maxell 03 (-r) at 6x, cmc mag e1 (+r) at 8x, fujifilm 03 at 8x. Overspeeding, however, often results in unreadable discs. This burner burns a full dvd at 8x in 8 minutes. My BenQ would take 9 minutes and NEC, 10 minutes. So far, I am very pleased with this burner. Don't have any 16x media to try, but it can do a full burn in 5:15 s, which is faster than BenQ and NEC.

Strengths: Works well in SCO UNIX Environment

Weakness: 1 in 10 fail after short time

I have tried several different brands of DVD Burners in the SCO UNIX environment and this LG burner works the best. If you are using a DVD for backup purposes in a UNIX environment, this one is my recommendation.

DVD Burners round-up: LG GSA-4163BB Dual Layer tested

(on the LG drive)... Good looks, great performance, and very low CPU utilization happens to be my driving force, along with an excellent price.
