Hi!
I am so happy to have found a silent BluRay drive for my dead silent HTPC so I just regged to share this information (have not found it here previously).
-----------
I recently built my HTPC. Its completely silent, even at midnight, when theres no other noise around.
The only noise came from my BluRay drive, the LG GGW-H20L (which should have been silent, according some threads here, deaf maybe?)
I moved the LG GGW-H20L in my work PC, because it was too loud for the HTPC anyway and decided to simply buy and test some drives.
Next after the LG burner was the LiteOn DH-4O1S. At first I was disappointed, as it was a bit louder than the LG. I remebered that I read somewhere here, that at least the Pioneer drive is not supported from the AnyDVD Speedmanagement. I thought I give it a try on the LiteOn and IT WORKS!!
The LiteOn drive with setting "Slow and Quiet" (dont know the correct terms, german version) operates BluRay 1x and DVD 2x (CD not tested). With BluRay its not hearable in 3 meters distance in a dead silent room. And with DVD almost not.
CD-Bremse is also working allthough I didn´t test with this very much.
I gave then the LG GGC-H20L a try, but it was as loud as the GGW and tried with it the speedmanagement, but its not supported.
The Pioneer BDC-202 I left unopened because I am happy with the LiteOn and it can´t be less audible than non-audible and its not spported from speedmanagement or CD-Bremse.
So the LiteOn DH-4O1S is the ultimate HTPC BluRay drive (in combination with AnyDVD or CD-Bremse.
Regards
