Miguel at ExtremeMhz has taken a look at LG's new LightScribe capable "Super-Multi" drive, the GSA-H22N. Here's a sample of what he had to say about it:
Unlike the Samsung SH-S183L I previously reviewed here, this drive was quite unpredictable in many areas of testing. This drive had the potential of being one of the very best options out on the market. This was quickly out of reach when it came down to its riplock in firmware. It was quite upsetting actually and it will basically cripple this drive significantly. Fortunately though, there is some modified firmware you can load to help remedy this. However, you will still likely face some minor issues when loading such firmware and still must be prepared to accept its poor read performance on a majority of DVD-Video discs. Also, its highly questionable write performance on DVD+R DL media is something to keep in mind as well. The drive did not consistently write to this media very well.
