hi all i have been reading all the reviews here for the benq dw1640. but i can't find it...(newegg,yahoo,etc'). it seems that this drive was replaced by the dq60. my question is: is the dq60 better than the dw1640? if not where can i still get it? and if not what are good alternatives to the 1640 ? thanks
I don't see the Benq 1640 anywhere. At least not at the major stores in the Toronto area. I'd go for the 1650 or the 1655 (which I just picked up) if u want Lightscribe.
Get the 1640 here: http://www.3gplaza.com/estore/control/Computer3G/category?category_id=3044&menu_id=0

Think I will wait for Newegg to get them BENQ DW1640's again before purchasing ! but thanks for thae info Y'all Peace!
big thanks teflonmyk just bought one from the site that you wrote lets see when i comes if it is the real one thanks again
I just got the I/O Magic Litescribe on sale at Staples $49.94 after easy rebate.I used one of the $3.00 ink vouchers total price $52.21.I read you have a 50/50 chance its either going to be a lite-on or BEN-Q DW 1655 so I had them open the box it was BEN-Q DW 1655 I have two 1640's already but wanted to play around with the Litescribe.Those 1640'S are a heck of a good burner will see how the 1655 stacks up.
Avinka,you will be happy with that NEC.I have the NEC 3500,Three of the 3520's and two 3540's never a problem out of any of them.I flashed them with modified firmware so they booktype all my +R'S TO DVD-ROM.
avinka- Have the NeC 2500A & 3500A and have no complaints with either ! But in the end you pays your money & you takes your chances! Happy Burning & Good Luck!
avinka- If it's not the item you ordered send or take it back - Do the terms bait & switch mean anything ? Anyone ! let us know how it works out ! happy trails lil' buccaroo !
avinka- Shop4tech.com apparently has Benq Dw 1655's in stock again so you could return your DQ60! and buy a dw 1655 from them Though I must confess that I've never dealt with them personally ! Just a thought! Good luck & happy hunting !
hi thanks for the info.. \just got the nec 3550 i will give it a test run and if not i think i will buy the plextor 716a once and for all...
avinka- all I can say is I really like my Nec 3500A & 2500A so I think you will like your Nec but everyone has different taste & priority's so you may want something different Plextor makes excellent drives as well although I think they are somewhat overpriced at retail ! But the 716 is supposed to be the Cat's pajama's so good luck with whatever drive you end up keeping ! Happy Burning!
run into my first problem... i flashed it with 1y4 firmware and now when i start clonedvd2 (war of the worlds)it says that the disc is protected...
avinka- sorry to hear that - Never having flashed my firmware I would turn you over to greater minds then I ! Anyone ! If you backed up (Made a copy ) of the original FW perhaps you could re-flash it to the original Just a thaought! Good Luck & Happy Burning ( eventually)
avinka- Mayhave been some kind of program conflict & when you did a system restore you removed that program ! Hey it works ! ( It's Alive ! , Alive I tell You ! LOL! ) whatever you did you got it working ! That's great ! Good Luck in the Future & Happy Burning!
Many say BenQ 1655 lightscribe is better. This a new product of BenQ. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827101008
