let me know how that goes. I have the SOHW 1693S from black friday never used it because it was so noisy (well the hitachi puts it to shame) but i'd give it a shot. I made 1 coaster from a bad rip. It seems to burn everything at 4X on my PC on +R DL KS0B firmware.
I'll go reburn a backup this weekend and try to rip the original with both drives.
you can use a binary file compare in unix or dos (fc /b gamerippedonliteon.bin gamerippedon111d.bin)
likewise you can byte compare SS sectors (fc /b ssfromsamsung.bin ssFromHitachi.bin) to see if there are changes. If you see anything different, you have an issue.
Also if you rip the game 3 times. then binary compare then (fc /b gamerip1.bin gamerip2.bin) (fc /b gamerip2.bin gamerip3.bin) you should see the SAME THING.
fc /b can handle 14GB files i just tested it. If you get 3 rips and they have differences (any hex output) then you are not using a reliable ripping source. The data never changes.
all 2k/xp pc's should be able to use up to 137gb on fc (file compare) in /b (binary) mode to check yourself.
i'd rip on the lite-on then rip on the pio, then fc /b liteon.bin pio.bin
then if they don't match
i'd rip on lite-on 3 times, fc /b 1stlite 2ndlite ,fc /b 2ndlite 3rdlite , if those dont match move on to pio
rip 3 times, fc /b 1stpio 2ndpio fc/b 2ndpio 3rdpio if those don't match you got some seriously bad source material or bad memory lol
