Hi all,
I have a 411 - flashed to 811. I have tried various DVD-r media. I am currently using Maxwell x8 discs, and yet smart burn says that they are x2 discs.
While i normally burn at x2 for stability, why can i not burn at x8?
I am using an Abit AN7 motherboard. but using Standard Dual Channel PCI controller.
Any ideas?

Did you flash the firmware in the drive to have it run as an 811?
I'm totally not getting what you're saying here, but if thats the case, it's probably that the hardware won't let you burn higher than 2x.

The unit used to be 411, and it used to burn at x4 dvd speed with my old motherboard. When i changed motherboard to AN7, the burn speed has stayed at x2 for dvd (strangely x40 for cd) Then i flashed the firmware to see if that would help... no luck! - -and i am still very confused...
cheers for your time!
