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.

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............... Rob

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...

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.
