In this segment, we will be testing the write speed of the LITE-ON SHM-165H6S for the various DVD recordable media below. This is a gauge of how this drive stacks up against the competition.

4x DVD±RW / DVD+R DL

Brands of Media used: -

  • SmartBuy 4x DVD+RW = PRODISCW02
  • Verbatim 4x DVD-RW = MCC01RW4X
  • Verbatim 2.4x DVD+R DL = MKM001

As you may have noticed, the LITE-ON is not a speed demon and actually falls behind for DVD+R DL burns. Its burning performance for both rewritable media was also rather mediocre.

6x DVD-RW / 8x DVD+RW

Brands of Media used: -

  • Ricoh 8x DVD+RW = RICOHJPNW21
  • MKM 6x DVD-RW = MKM 01RW6X01

Again, the performance of the LITE-ON is rather average and when compared to the Sony DRU-810A tested earlier, it is a tad slower.
