This is the first time I have had the pleasure of using a BD-ROM and whilst things haven\'t changed from the physical aspect of ROM drives, the included features and technology certainly has. The iHES208 comes full equipped to play all of your Blu Ray media and offers great DVD and CD functionality too.
The Cyberlink software bundled with the iHES208 increases the value and appeal of this drive significantly because inside the suite of software you have the ability to perform such a multitude of tasks. The LiteOn iHES208 is a little bit more expensive than other drives but considering the software you get and the fact this drive operates a lot quieter than the Samsung offering in our benchmark tests - it makes it a rather beneficial purchase.
If you are looking at getting on the Blu Ray band wagon then the LiteOn iHES208 is a sensible choice that I would recommend to anyone. For this reason I am awarding the iHES 208 the Gold award.
Pros
+ Great all-in-one solution
+ Good performance
+ Quiet operation
+ Excellent assortment of software
Cons
- A little bit more expensive than other drives on market
