I've read that the Lite-On can be rather noisy.

...when it comes to backing up your data on your DVD faster is good i figure,
but when you are backing up movies thats another thing all together.

the faster you burn a disc, many argue, the less compatibility you will have. The biggest reason for this is that as new media brands and speeds emerge, it becomes less and less likely that the destination player has been tested—and tweaked,
as necessary—to ensure compatibility with a particular new disc. If you are producing large numbers of DVDs,
as you would for dance recitals or plays, compatibility becomes very important. 8X is OK (depending on who you talk to);
I personally use 4X to be accepted by the maximum number of players (versus production speed).

How fast is fast? Everything is relative. Bet you didn't know that 8X is the fastest sustainable speed for a DVD recorder. 16X burners can only burn at 16X on the outer edge of a DVD. If you have ever timed a 16X burner, you will find that it is not even close to 16 times the speed of 1X DVD. DVD recorders use either partial constant angular velocity or zoned constant linear velocity to burn a disc. Essentially, what this means is that they achieve different burn speeds, gradually increasing burn speed over time as they record a disc.
