LITE-ON BLU-RAY DISC PLAYER

The Lite-On Blu-ray Disc Reader shows up as an LH-20A1L device, using SiSoft Sandra 2008, with the following characteristics:

SATA 150
48X CD-R
48X CD-W
6X DVD-R
6X DVD-W
2MB of Cache
Revision: BL01
Random Access time: 41 ms
1/3 Stroke Access Time: 30 ms
Full Stroke Access Time: 2 ms

Testing:

We ran the Lite-On Blu-ray Disc Reader using the benchmarks built-into SiSoft Sandra 2008 for optical drives using a Blu-ray disc in the drive. Notice in the following images taken from Sisoft Sandra that Lite-On's BD-ROM did very well compared to the other optical drives in this test, being beat out only by a 16X speed DVR drive which is an internal drive compared to our Lite-On being an external 4X BD-ROM drive. So, the Lite-On external BD-ROM unit faired very well when compared to some of the fastest DVR drives available, ranking a 2nd position behind the much more speedy Pioneer drive. Notice also that the Lite-ON BD-ROM also beat out the other three drives in the comparison which were two 8X speed drives and a 12X speed drive.
