Bij HardwareZone is een review online gegooid van de LiteOn LTR-24102B CD-R/RW drive. De LTR-24102B biedt snelheden van 24X/10X/40X en heeft een toegangstijd van 120ms. De drive beschikt slechts over 2MB cache, maar de productie van onderzettertjes wordt gelukkig ook voorkomen door Smart Monitoring & Adapting Recording Technology (SMART), een soort burn-proof technologie. Audio-CD's rippen gebeurde in de test met zo'n 14X; geen schokkende prestaties dus, maar het is dan ook vooral de prijs die de LTR-24102B aantrekkelijk maakt:
LiteOn seems to have the midas touch when it comes to manufacturing high-speed CD-Rewritable drive. Essentially Taiwan's number one OEM supplier, LiteOn is now the world's top three CD-ROM drive manufacturer as well. And for good reasons too. LiteOn CD-RW drives' quality are never in doubt as they are reliable, fast, and quiet. But more importantly, their drives always come with a very affordable price-tag.
Though not as popular as more reknowned brands like Ricoh and Plextor, LiteOn is fast gaining ground as the preferred choice among users who are looking for an affordable performance-to-cost drive.
[...] The LiteOn recorder may not have the Plextor's 'robustness' nor Yamaha's sleek asthetics, and granted its reading and DAE results are a bit of a disappointment as well. But know that you're looking at a real affordable CD-Rewritable drive that gets the job done. As mentioned earlier, the LiteOn LTR-24102B is one excellent performance-to-cost solution. For just below $300, you have a reliable drive that burns fast, quietly and error-free. If you're on the hunt for a 24x recorder, I would say the LiteOn drive is one option you should find hard to miss.
