Testing the Benq 1650 and more

[Chewy]

My pioneer got a little flakey after just 100 or so burns, what really made me
sick, was the price dropped 75$ in 6 months. Todays cheaper burners are
burning hundreds of disks for a fraction of the price.

I am a cdfreakers , and I'm really curious to test a couple of plextor drives, but I can't afford them

I have one plex 716A never have time, to test, burn is so so not so good and not so bad, rip is slower then nec, not better then LG when ripping bad disc, so I put it in a shelve, I hope when winter come and slowing down on my job I will look at it again

I never have time to check their scanning funtion, it take very long time, only if I have another comp. I would check it

well since the plextor i have is a rebage i will leave that as the stand along master and then pair the nec with the benq any more sugestions would be a great help

nec and Benq I think is great, fast ripper and good burner, both can scan and cross check

thanks, i didnt want to wait on the black beng so i ordered the bg, should have it in about three days

[NightTran]

I dont think the qua. will change because the colour , I have bg 1650, and two 1640 the only one black is 1655

i sure hope not

data disk, new firmware(chinese version only) for black drives only!

best burn yet with my new batch of lower? quality tyg02's
1st burn this mid since flash

[Dan]

Yeah, that is a nice burn. What was your burn speed?

[Chewy]

when creating a data disk, cdspeed makes a graph of the burn, it's the
white line with sharp dips in the top half, the benq AFAIK has no overspeeding
in it's firmware, so burn speed is limited to rated speed for G02's(8X).

[Dan]

Ahhh. I was curious about that white line, thanks for the explanation! I don't recall ever testing the quality of a data burn, just my dvd backups, something new to play with, LOL.

Well i got the benq today , im getting ready to install, im going to put it on the same ide as the nec, does it matter which one i use for master and slave? thanks

[Chewy]

benq should be master on primary ide and nec master on secondary,
not what you asked but that's life, why?
COF at 12x of good disks

[mill]

Thanks for the reply Chewy, I jumped the gun yesterday and installed it as slave to the nec but it can be switched, what are you saying cof at 12x?
