Alrighty then sports fans ! $64.00 question ? I have the Benq Dw 1655 drive . Have udpated firmware once already to BCHB checked benq support site & they now have BCIB firmware for this model . Which is as far as I know the latest update for my drive . Understand the purpose behind updating firmware my question is should I update now and what exactly am I getting in the bargain ? Updated writing strategies for newer media? I thought the whole purpose of solidburn was that your burner would learn and adapt to new media was'nt that the promise ? If so it would negate that reason for a FW udpate would'nt it ? also if anyone has made the update from BCHB to BCIB what are your impressions good or bad & would you recommend it or do it again if you had your Druthers ? Thanks everyone & happy holidays to all !
i have the 1650 not the 1655 but have this to offer - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/414330 i think docTY has commented on a similar thing, maybe saugmon also, just can't find the links at the mo...
i am not a sports fan but i would like to know fi the 64 for benq dw1655 is available to the other peole. Or simply where do you still find the 1655??
creaky- & everyone Thanks for the help ! I have the BCIB download But so far have'nt had any problems to speak of ! So I suppose I'll hold it stasis for now . But thanks again ! Merry Christmas & smooth sailing ! Later!
Yujenh- I think Meritline.com Might have them albeit at a high ( IMHO) price They have a better price on the Benq 1670 (Newer model) But from what I've read it does'nt support all the Qsuite goodies ( Solidburn ect... ) so unless you really need to burn DVD-Ram disc -Which this model does ,I would stay with the 1650-1655 series both being essentially the same drive other than the 1655 having lightscribe capability and the 1650 not having it . hope this helps!
