I have both the SHM-16H6S and the SOHW-812S...the first one is the the newer drive but it not working now...only had it for 5 months...the second drive is older and lasted a year and a half...anyone know what the best lasting drives are since I understand Lite-On builds drives for a few of the name brands? Thanks for the help!
Lite-On drives are usually v good - however i do not own one (LG all the way ) Anyway, you say the newer one does not work. If you still have it, then what exactly is the problem? Bad burns, not recognising media? Might be fixable **Edit: found your multipost - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/399500 - - Keep it in one place plz, makes it easier to help you out **
