Testing the Benq 1650 and more

[photo_angel2004]

I am just glad I got mine when I did. I love this burner!

[Chewy]

what's funny about this is, there are other brands that burn as well or better
on more media, the pioneer 111 series does DL better, even the new benq 1670 may turn out to burn better, the liteon's may scan better, but don't burn that well on a lot of mid's. For availability, price and all round performance, the benq 165X's can't be beat, IMO. But then I weight the ability to scan into the equation.

I still think the 40 is better then the 5/ interm of overall can burn allmost any things yes it is pricy compare to 5/, I may have to look for two more 40 in the wing with the 5/ in my stock

[Chewy]

even some of the sony 710's have been changed over to a 710A-R which is a
benq 1650, a few people killed their drives trying to crossflash, they wanted a benq 1640.

Chewy what about sony 720 UL are they benq at all?

Thanks

Hi folks,

Have you noticed that there isn't a single BenQ 1650 or 1655 available online anywhere?

What is the deal? Should have got my 1650 from NE when they had them on Sale for $27.99 Shipped? Oh Well!

G!

[Chewy]

add 20-30$ to that price and you can find them

[NightTran]

you can go to comUSA but that will be 69.99 +

Hi guys,

@Soup ... THANKS for the URLs!

Q: Has anybody dealt with "Sho4Tech" outfit? Are they Reliable?

BTW, FYI here are my experiences dealing with onlione outfits.

Meritline: I have bought from them ... but, I am kind of "Hesitant" to deal with them.

SuperMediaStore: They used have to have "Good Deal" on Taiyo Media ... but since everyone keep saying "Oh God, they are so wonderful and cheap" I guess their OWNER heard you guys and have SYSTEMATICALLY Jacking Up their Prices. So, guess what no more SMS for me. I buy from other TY providers ...

G!
