De mannen van Tweakers Asylum hebben een review gemaakt van de AOpen 1640 Pro. Zoals de naam al doet vermoeden leest deze DVD-ROM speler DVD's op 16X en CD-ROM's op een snelheid van 40X. De speler beschikt over UDMA33 en ondersteunt CDR/RW's en DVD/RW's. Omdat deze DVD-ROM een slot-in speler is kun je hem zowel horizontaal als verticaal monteren. In de SiSoft Sandra benchmarks presteert de DVD-speler naar behoren, maar in de DVD/CD speed 99 benchmarks liggen de prestaties veels te laag In ieder geval is de reviewer redelijk positief over dit apparaatje:
Power DVD is easy to use and makes this a very nice package for the price. I will probably never be a big fan of watching movies on my desktop but I doubt I will be pulling the drive out of my box either.
The drive does have a couple weak points though. The AOpen 1640 Pro is excessively loud on spin-up almost annoying if the room is real quiet. When mounted the drive also has a gap at the top, this gap isn't enough to notice until you put the DVD in it by accident. I did this twice and was not amused by having to open the case to retrieve a movie.
Over all quality of the drive is great and for the money (about $125.00) it is worth the cost. If you are in the market for a DVD drive this is the one to get. Great quality and reasonable cost make this drive a winner. AOpen has done it again. A great product a great price.
