Pros: seems to read fast, many DVD formats
con: unable to locate tested firmware to remove region code.


Irregardless of price considerations, which one would you choose?

There is already a lot of topics about the BTC , use the search function . Also there is a test ( www.cdrinfo.com ) .
I assume the Cyberdrive has much better CD-ROM access times . I would try the Cyberdrive . Only if it's cheap , else i don't know well this brand and i would recommend you another brands .

Thanks. The Cyberdrive does have a much faster access time.

BTC should stand for Bogus Tech Computer. Don't get a BTC drive.
