How to tell if Sata port is compatible with liteon DG-16D2S

Thanks, I went on and let it do it's update.

Well what you bought from new egg is probably MII or MIP. MIS are pretty expensive, a 15 pack is like 35.00 at most places ive seen.

You should still get a high success rate, as long as you burn at a low speed.

The way you can tell its MI(x) is by looking on the label, look for a bunch of chinese and japanese characters and somewhere either above or below that it will say in small font Made In (x) then MI(x)

I think it only has a mkm, but i could be reading it wrong.

either way i have had a 100% ratio with 6 out of 6 working!

As long as you have a decent burner most if not all verbatim's should work fine.

Turns out MII is like made in indonesia, and MIT is taiwan and theres a few more... A buddy of mine googled it in future shop last time we were there, I explained to him MIS is the highest quality DVD+R DL's produced but he decided to google it..

cool, i am using a pioneer 11d burner that i picked up a couple years ago for this reason (and for the wii) knowing that i would use it in the future for the 360.

Thanks HaGGardSmurf for all your help. That goes the same for Commando.. and anyone else who gave me a hand.

Damn, that drive is still kicking after a couple years? Most burners lasers will only last for a year or so, then the quality of burning will decrease and decrease.

Damm, working great so far! BUT you probably just jinxed me!!!! lol!

haha well the time placed on the diode relies ont he fact that you burn an average of x disks each month... So if you just had it sitting in your comp for a while, and/or hardly used it, you should be fine. My last burner was a lite-on it lasted about 2 years. I bought an LG, and its working perfectly, I burned a perfect copy of my NHL 09 which is scratched to hell...

Hardly used it, well my chipped wii states otherwise! Fingers crossed!!! If it did die in the near future, i would probably go with another pioneer. But hell, i see they are like up to 118 and higher and who knows if they are good for 360/wii games.

Yea, they should be fine with them. I have a 40 dollar LG burner I bought a week maybe 2 ago, and its working like a champ.

I dont know if you have a 'memory express' around where you live, but they have incredible warrenty's. Memory express is a parts store for computers, and its where I built mine, when I bought this new burner they explained this 5 dollar warranty they have. If you pay 5 bucks they will cover the drive up to 4 years, and if the laser goes they will replace it with no questions.

So really im set for 4 years now...
