LiteOn's LH-20A1S DVD burner let you either watch DVD movies or record them. The ability to use all standard CD and DVD media formats lets you choose the media based on the task.
This multi-format DVD burner uses an SATA interface for high speed data transfer between it and the rest of the computer. This results in better quality burns and less pauses while watching movies.
With write speeds of up to 20X for writable DVD±R media and 48X for CD-R media this drive makes short work of any task you give it. SmartBurn technology avoids buffer underrun errors, automatically adjusting the writing strategy and running OPC to provide the clean burns and greatly reduce the number of wasted discs.
DVD Multi RecorderThe LITE-ON LH-20A1S DVD Multi Recorder enables users to burn any DVD+R/-R, DVD+RW/-RW or DVD-RAM disc and supports the dual-layer function allowing up to 8.5GB data to be burned and saved on a single dual-layer disc. Burn your own DVD/VCD movies or backup data with ease!
20X Ultra High Writing SpeedWith advanced burning technology, the LITE-ON LH-20A1S DVD Multi Recorder delivers class-leading DVD+R/-R writing speed of 20X. The super fast burning speed enables users to write a whole DVD+R/-R disc in only 5 minutes!
High-quality Disc BurningThe LITE-ON LH-20A1S is equipped with advanced burning technologies including SMART-BURN to avoid Buffer UnderRun errors and automatically adjust writing strategy and running OPC for the best burning quality, SMART-WRITE to automatically detect and decide the optimal write strategy of the DVD recordable media (DVD+R & DVD-R) for the best result, and the ABS mechanism to reduce vibration and noise while the disc is rotating at a high speed.
Pros: I just bought two Lite-On burners - this one and the virtually identical model with Lightscribe. I'm used to running top line burners from Plextor and NEC but decided to go with these since they seem to be ahead in SATA technology. These have been perfect so far. They were completely trouble-free to install and every burn on every media type I've tried so far has been successful and fast. By the way, I was a bit hesitant to get these at first because some people said they were noisy but I have all the high-speed options set and they are still as quiet as any drive I've owned.
Cons: Nothing.
