JustCDR.net had tested Lite-On SOHW 832S Dual Layer DVD Writer: "Overall I'm impressed with Lite-On's new dual layer writer, this is the first dual layer writer I have used (that's not hacked anyhow), the dual layer feature really is the next big thing in DVD writing and its nice to see Lite-On being one of the first manufactures taking this onboard. This is not the first Lite-On drive I used or owned, I have always been a big fan of Lite-On since the early days of the ever popular CD-RW 24x Lite-On and then onto the CD-RW 40x which was overclocked to 48x write using a firmware hack, and now I have a Lite-On 16x DVD-Rom, what made me keep coming back to Lite-On was the performance and value for money."
