    gidday
    I was looking at updating my old 2x DVD burner for a new one and was looking at the
    LITEON lwd-45IS 4x and
    PIONEER 107 OEM 8x and after reading some of your threads, seems that the 107 is the way to go .I have a couple of quick questions,
    does it still burn 4x media without any problems ?
    Does OEM mean anything I should be worried about ?
    do they burn CD-RS & is the firmware easy to update

    I know some of these questions might seem dumb but you guys are the only ones that will give me a honest answer
    thanks for you help clock.

    PS. or do you think the LG GMA-408IB is a better option ???.
    thanks again.

    Hey

    Go for the Pioneer 107 :D

    - Yes the Pioneer 107 will burn 4x Media ok,
    - OEM usually means that it doesnt come with software,
    - Yes it does burn CD-Rz,
    - The firmware is fairly easy to update.

    Regards
    CoZZa

    Hell no.

    The 107 is a quality drive with good firmware hacks available. The Lite Ons are nice too with quality firmware hacks and cool tools like K-Probe to use with it.
