You forgot to add BENQ 1650 ... street price around Rs.2050/- in Kolkata ;)

Regarding your second problem,maybe the Transfer Mode of the drive is "PIO only".If so, set it to "DMA if available".See if it helps. :p

I feel the prices quoted are very much on the higher side, as of now.
BTW, did you quote Boxed or OEM prices?

i just got 2 BENQ 1650 and fell in love with it... great price great drive...

this drive has some good error correction mechanism it seems... it avoids the CRC errors a great deal while copying DVD's/CD's( dont expect them to dissapear)

BENQ DVD DD DW1650 (DVD+R9:8x, DVD-R9:4x, DVD+RW:16x/8x, DVD-RW:16x/6x, DVD-ROM:16x, CD:48x/32x/48x DVD+RW/DVD-RW)

here it is..... any doubts... i got 2 of them here and they are working great, and this drive is the most silent one i've ever had..... very silent for an optical drive to be

Yup.. BenQ 1650 is an excellent drive (easily the best drive right now). Even i have one :D

Just a doubt. Cant we achieve the same by turning off error checking in Nero?

Go to Control Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager->IDE/ATA controllers->PATA controller->Pri/Sec channel. There find your drive in either of the channels and you will have the option.

i dont think so, for one, turning an option in nero cannot make a diff in windows copy....

second... error correction and error ignoring is 2 diff things... if u dont copy a thing u wont get error... so u can avoid error by "not copying the disk, dont use it, just throw it"

But checking the option in Nero does make copying disks (those having read errors) faster.

I agree absolutely reg the second thing ie., "error correction and error ignoring is 2 diff things". Will you pl elaborate about the error correction. Is it by attempting to read repeatedly?

i checked that.
under "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers",there are two primary and two secondary IDE channels.

In the properties tab of all (except Secondary IDE Channel Device 0),"device type" is "AUTO DETECTION" and "TRANSFER MODE" is 'DMA if available.'

In 'Secondary IDE Channel' 'Device 0','Device type' is 'Auto Detection' and greyed out,'TRANSFER MODE' is 'DMA if available' and 'CURRENT Transfer Mode' is 'PIO MODE'.Theres no option to change it.wat 2 do now pal?

Uncheck "Let Bios Select Transfer Mode" and then you will be able to select th mode yourself.

I purchased LG DVD writer recently. It makes a lot of sound when reading cds. Nero express provided doesnot have all features of Nero Burning Rom.
