Interesting. Is that a rebranded one or is it Asus' own design?

does this drive set the book type of DL medias?

emperor -> RE: ASUS DRW-1604P first impressions (7/27/2004 10:29:01 AM)
Yes the drive sets the DVD+R DL booktype to DVD-ROM by default, however doesn't support booktype for +R/+RW media

kogos -> RE: ASUS DRW-1604P first impressions (7/27/2004 11:18:52 AM)
since the asus drive uses the new D63635 chipset from NEC, it is most likely that we will see a new DL 4X drive from NEC soon!!!

emperor -> RE: ASUS DRW-1604P first impressions (7/27/2004 11:41:41 AM)
Lets hope that soon NEC will officially announce it [:)]

digitaldoc -> RE: ASUS DRW-1604P first impressions (7/27/2004 12:08:05 PM)
Like the Pioneer 16x, the 12x write is much longer than the 16x which is a very short portion at the end. I doubt the total write is faster than the Plextor 712. Still seems like a decent drive, just not much at 16x.

emperor -> RE: ASUS DRW-1604P first impressions (7/27/2004 12:17:30 PM)
Correct, the 12X is faster than the 16X and much slower than the Plextor PX-712A, of course we would have to see its writing quality...

aviationwiz -> RE: ASUS DRW-1604P first impressions (7/27/2004 8:57:59 PM)
And remember when everyone said Plextor was nuts for going to 12x instead of straight to 16x. [8\|]

emperor -> RE: ASUS DRW-1604P first impressions (7/27/2004 9:31:49 PM)
True! For sure 12X P-CAV is much faster than 16X Z-CLV

emperor -> RE: ASUS DRW-1604P first impressions (7/28/2004 8:49:54 AM)
True..
