The guys at CD Freaks have put together a review of Lite-On's first Blu-ray Disc writer, the LH-2B1S. Here's a sample of what they had to say:
Belonging to the first generation of Blu-ray writers, the device seems to operate very well and also the write quality on the supported media types is very good.
The Lite-On LH-2B1S should be one of the first Blu-Ray drives that are equipped with a Serial-ATA interface.
The 12x writing speed on DVD±R media is also a feature that is most welcome.
While CD Freaks didn't test the LH-2B1S with dual layer BD-R media, it should be noted that the drive's reading and writing speed is limited to only 1x. This means it will take nearly 3 hours to write an entire 50GB disc. Hopefully Lite-On can increase this to 2x when they boost the drive's single layer BD-R writing speed to 4x.
