Does anyone know where can I find review on this ATA100 16x DVD-ROM drive.

Plug & Play? How about Plug & Pray!

Note: You do realise that ATA100 for a optical drive is just a marketing gimmic? ATA33 is sufficient, even for a DVD drive.

oh, and try here :smile:

That review is in German and I know nothing about German. Any English one?

Go though a few google pages. If you cannot find an english review then there probably ISN'T an english review available!

Try doing a google translation. It aint perfect, but you get the main points of the review.

go to http://www.cdr-info.com/, hardware DVD roundup no 3... it is reviewed there

for other reviews try www.bonesreview.com, it has links to tonnes of reviews...

no-one shouts louder than someone who is being ignored, or in the case of techies, to be heard over the noise of their PC's ;-)

I've read the review and it seems that Asus DVD-E616 does perform a little better in data transfering. Does this has anything to do with ATA100 or Asus just make a good DVD-ROM Drive? [Lite-On still the King of DAE, cheers!]

It shouldnt really... A little with data bursts perhaps, but they are very short events.
I read though that the asus has a 512kb cache, what do the others have?
