LiteOn LH-2B1S Blu-Ray Drive

Zitat

As a Blu-Ray drive, the device successfully burned all the BD-R and BD-RE media we used in this test. Having compatibility in mind, we tested the burned discs in the other Blu-Ray drives that are currently available on the market. All discs were readable except for the TDK 50GB BD-R disc, which is not supported by the drive. Early announcements of the LiteOn LH-2B1S drive indicated that the drive would be compatible with dual-layer (50GB) BD-R media but currently, the company claims that hardware limitations do not allow this kind of support, while it promises it in the next generation of drives.

How about using the drive as a Blu-Ray movie player? Unfortunately, we were unable to test any titles with the drive, since as yet, no releases have been forthcoming in the European region. But the drive is only one link in the chain of devices required to play a HD title. As it is widely discussed over the internet, in order to play HD content titles, a compatible HDCP monitor or HDMI TV set is required as well as an appropriate graphics card (HDCP) and the latest Nvidia or ATI drivers.

The drive is very fast with the more traditional CD and DVD media in either writing or reading. The supported 12X writing with DVD±R media provides the drive a small edge compared to the other Blu-Ray drives currently on the market, as well as the 32X speed for CD-R.
