Now it is getting interesting. I have a GH24NSC0 which does pull in. Firmware version is "LK00". Yours is reported by lshw as "LW00". The GH24NSD1 seems to be a younger version of the GH24NSC0 with the additional ability to perform LightScribe and a bit more drive buffer. The firmware names might indicate that yours is also individually younger than mine. (For both i find firmware with second letter lower than "K".) Do you remember when you bought it ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Some chatting and moderate nostalgy: Dominique Dumont wrote: > > > - HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_BH08LS20 > Write Speed #3: 2.0x4495=8991KB/s > Now, only the slowest write speed is somewhat reliable. My GGW-H20L lives since years on a strict diet of BD-RE media. Already in 2011 it was not possible to buy BD-R media which still would work with it. It cannot format BD-RE any more and likes those formatted by LG BH16NS40 much better than those formatted by ASUS BW-16D1HT or Optiarc BD-5300S. Old people, ya know ... But it is still my fastest drive when it comes to BD-RE burning in stream recording mode. > > > - ATAPI_iHOS104_3775504068_206021500 I wrote: > > A BD-ROM drive. > Back in 2011, this was less expensive than a BD writer. When i wanted a BD-ROM in 2009, the BD-ROM/DVDRW "combo" drive LG GGC-H20L was cheaper than the BD-ROMs and is able to burn CD and DVD. I use it mostly for check-reading. Astoundingly long-living stuff. Have a nice day :) Thomas
