The Benq DW-1640's are pretty highly rated drives. I read a lot of reviews and user comments before buying. Just about everybody raves about how good they are.
The DVD's I'm copying seem pretty badly burned. I'd guess the guy that made them burned at max speed on cheap Maxell blanks. In the end, out of 25 disks I was able to copy probably around half of them with the linux boxes. The rest had to be done on the windoze machines.
Four disks couldn't be read on any machine in any of the four lower cost drives (2-Benq, 1-LG, 1-Lite-On). Bad CRC errors. So I cranked up #2 (Big Blue) and copied those with the Plextor PX-716A. Damn, I love that drive! It didn't even blip - just chugged thru em.
