Oduševljeni kvalitetom starijih LG-jevih snimača, odlučili smo opet opisati LG-jev snimač, ali ovaj puta njihov prvi SATA model – GSA-H30N. Dojam koji je ostavio je jako dobar obzirom da su SATA DVD snimači relativno novi. U čitanju CD i DVD medija se pokazao vrlo dobrim izuzev riplocka kod video DVD-a, ali nemojte da vas to odbije od kupnje. Kod snimanja CD medija nije bilo nikakvih problema, a za 16x snimanje DVD-a je potrebno flashati novi firmware što će mnogi odmah učiniti. U usporedbi s prethodnim 416x modelima, nešto je manjih dimenzija, naravno, radi se o dužini. Time će biti olakšana ugradnja u kraća kućišta. Po pitanju buke i vibracija, ne odskače od konkurencije, a seek ili kretanje lasera je tiše nego kod starije 416x serije snimača.

Conclusion

Sattisfied with the quality of some older LG burners, we decided to test their first SATA model – GSA-H30N. And it left a really nice impression, considering that SATA is quite new technology in optical drives industry. CD and DVD read speed is satisfactory, with the exception of riplock on video DVD media. But that shouldn’t divert potential users because the burner performed flawlessly while recording CD and DVD media. Only thing to have in mind is a problem with burning 16x DVDs, but with a new firmware you’ll be just fine. Compared to it’s predecessor – 416x models, this device features smaller dimensions, so it shouldn’t have any compatibillity problems with smaller chasis. The noise and vibration levels are within normal, while seek mechanism (laser head movement) is somewhat less noisy than with 416x series.
