SH-W162C samsung and DW1650 benq

thank you for your time

:welcome: to the forums.

The BenQ, hands down. Samsung writers are not as good as the name might suggest.

What he said.

yep, benq :P

and welcome to the forums m8 :)

ty for all the warm welcomes, i got a person telling me that the benq doesnt have dual layer writting posibilities, is that a bad thing now days?

[mcoleg]

of course it does; i've got 1650 model, it writes dual layer no problem. 1655 is an upgrade to it that addresses some power issues and a few other minor things; and it does write dual layer.

[Brando]

I think all drives being sold these days are dual layer capable. It's pretty much standard.

Sweet! I am thinking about buying a BenQ 1650 BK.

Is there any difference in performance between the BenQ DW 1650 and the 1655?

The latter has LightScribe tech (Which I'm really interested in), thus want to opt for that, but any performance issues?
