ViperLair Reviews
ASUS DRW-1608P DL Burner
Sunday, August 31, 2005
edstar used our news submit to tell us that
ViperLair has done a nice review on the Asus
1608p DVD writer. They concluded that the drive
had some erratic behaviour in some of their
tests and that the drive performed as well as
any other drive on DL media. They say hopefully
some of these problems can be fixed in a firmware
update. You can find the full review here Asus
DRW-1608P DVD writer review @ Viperlair.
Viper Conclusion
Although there was a bit of erratic behavior
in some of the speed tests, the ASUS drive still
worked like it should, and as far as DL goes
it was right on par with other drives we have
tested. It's possible that a future firmware
update (can be updated using Nero's) could correct
these issues, if in fact it is the drive and
not the media that caused us problems. Regardless,
if you are looking for a name brand DL capable
DVD burner "on the cheap" the ASUS at least
deserves a look.
