I figured "since we here are always working w/dvd drives", what do you think of this dvd drive. I might buy one (they are really really cheap), but want to know what you think first here is the specs (it is a Lieton LDW-401S):
""This 4x MultiSpin DVD+ drive provides high-
speed 4x DVD+R and 2.4x DVD+RW burning, plus 16x CDR and
10x CDRW burning all in a single drive! The drive also
features the Active Optimum Power Controller (ACTOPC).
Continuously monitoring the signal level during recording,
it adjusts laser power to compensate when a disc is dirty,
improving the quality of recording.
