Lite-On LDW-411S DVD±RW review

Today we introduce the review of the Lite-On LDW-411S. Expections of this dual format DVD recorder were high due the good performance of Lite-On in the CD recording area. Unfortunately the drive at first dissapointed us a lot, but after a firmware upgrade the results were amazingly different. Here is a snip:

"The out-of-the-box performance of this drive was not very good as there were a few serious DVD-R/RW writing issues present. But thankfully Lite-On released firmware FS0F that cured these problems and made the drive become a strong competitor to most other DVD-Writers. So if you have not already upgraded the firmware to version FS0F (or newer) we suggest that you do that to get the best experience with the drive."

But is the upgrade enough for this drive to become a successstory? Is this the killer drive we have all been waiting for and is it worth your money? Read our review for more information.
