Nero CD-DVD Speed, a great tool

[dmanshead]

only if you have a benq and Qsuit

so which benq supports all the tests and has Qsuit?

[NightTran]

40,50,55

[dmanshead]

So that's the DW1640-55 but what about the new DW1670 or the EW164B? I wished I knew these things before I bought my DQ60. It may yet to be my backup burner,so nothing was lost.
Here's looking for an honest opinion which Benq does everyone feel is better?

[Chewy]

I just ran into a thread where that was discussed and another nighttrain
was involved,

I think all three were good drives, kind depends upon luck of the draw

[dmanshead]

My benq did not ciome with Qsuite 1.0 as Benq global said it should is there a way to download it? It also talks of drag and drop for dvd ram and nothing I have found allows it?

If I'm not wrong, the 1670 is not a genuine benq, but a rebranded TEAC. But I'm not sure of this.

My suggestions for a good benq drive are 1650 and 1655 (almost the same hardware, but 55 have lightscribe)

[Chewy]

that 1655 special last week is looking better and better

[geno888]

Too bad I can't afford a new burner

In my list there are pioneer 111 and benq 1650/55

[dmanshead]

Looking at the specs between 1650 and 1655, the only major difference I see is the lightscribe capability. Is that a correct assumption, and is there a drawback to having that abilty in ones drive?

I was going off what BenQ says here: http://www.benq.com/products/Storage/?product=609

No drawback. You can have it and never use. Writing quality between two drives is pretty the same.
