Cuz my old Liteon burned out a few months ago, and it was the bestest burner I ever had... now I have to burn discs with a lighter instead of a liteon 
I have no burner to make my music DVD's so I can become rich and famous and save the world like Bono...
Your decision may change the course of the world as we know it

I would like to try it out! I have had 2 LG's and they always screw up the DL burns. I dont think its the discs since they are Verbatim.
So I don't have to ask my friend from Far East to bring another one over for me (in NA)? 
I deserve one because I am handsome and awesome.
I would die for one but unfortunately there isn't any time soon that it will come state side here...
I have used them in the past when they first came out. The drives went out on me way too soon within a year usually. I have no faith in Lite-On right now since then so this would be a great deal for me to renew my faith in this brand of drive. I have bought about 6 drives in the past when DVD burning was new to all and these brand drives always burned up on me within a year. Renew my faith again Lite-On by allowing me to be one of the winners of this drive and I'll see it is stronger than before so I can purchase more Lite-On brands in the future.
I am in the process of building my ultimate video editing computer. I have already purchased everything except for the optical drive, mouse, and speakers. I am trying to determine which optical drive is the best. If I were to win this drive, I would thoroughly test it and enjoy it. I think that the new label feature may be quite useful as well.

I already have a new Pioneer standing by if my current Pioneer dies. If it was a Blu-ray reader then I'd be all over this like John Pinette on a Krispy Kreme.
Okay, what the heck. Let's give it a go.
If I were to win this drive I would sell it to buy a Blu-ray drive. No, wait. I mean I would sell it and give the money to cancer research. Yes, that's what I would do.
So, umm... how does this work? You'll mail me the drive?

I want this drive because of this very good burn quality, scanning capabilities and I don't have a labeltag enabled drive.
I could burn my discs in the dark, but I'd rather burn with the Lite-On! 
Hmm, let's see:
My computer is all beige. Such a black drive would be a nice uglyfication of it.
And I can also disable the computer's capability to boot from USB if I install my SiI3512 controller card in order to install that Litey.
Reasons good enough?

'cause I need 1 more burner to make "lucky" #21
I'd like one because I've only got one burner (an ancient SamSung 182).
I don't want it, thank you
Hi! I'd love this new burner for my game machine... I'm serving in the Navy far away in Okinawa, Japan... and good gear is hard to get! This sweepstakes would help tremendously get my rig going to pass the off-hours...
Cheers,
Doc

LBNL I'm a drive freak.
Hi! what a nice giveaway! well I would love to win because my DVD RW just died on me the other night ,, it was an older unit..

I want this and need this for my new rig. Still using a P4 Dell 4600. 
i want to win it because i want to be the only kid on the block in the ghetto to have one and because i'm worth it and because i'm a mean wittle kid of 58 years young and out of work,,so i deserve it,,,,so send me one
with a retirement budget. this could fill my empty bay...
why should i have it? maybe because i don't have a burner at all
I belong to a Not for Profit club that needs to convert dozens of of VHS tapes to DVD. I do not have a DVD burner to accomplish this task.
My old Sony burner doesn´t read CDs anymore! But it burns them! 8) So I need a new one. And I want to play Tag... errrr... Label Tag! 
Because I would love winning the free DVD writer almost as much as I love getting the MYCE free, newsletter in my Inbox once a week.
Because I need a DVD burner to put in my wifes computer. She only has a CD reader right now. You know how it goes, when Mama is happy, everyone is happy. When Mama is sad..... well you know the rest.
Because I would love winning the free DVD writer almost as much, as I love recieving the free MYCE newsletter , in my e-mail Inbox , once a week .
Hello everyone!! The only reason I wouldn't mind winning one is because I have used a Plextor for many years and it works great but recently it is starting to act funny. This one you are talking about sounds EXELLENT. Whoever wins will deserve it!
If I win then it will be something I will use....not like the other that I won before...
A new Lite-on burner MAY help to compensate for my useless Lite-on TV recorder which never worked properly, wouldn't recognise most makes of disc, and finished up where it belonged....at the municipal tip.
Right now, I don't have the capability to burn the dual layers.
Not sure what the advantages are, since the regular disks seem OK after using file compression. Also, the Light Scribe Technology, seems pretty cool. It would be nice to make professional looking disks. I already have a couple of regular dvd burners, and they seem to be doing OK.

I have just started using myCE and it's just great. Helpfull, quick, reall added value.to me as a lay person.
So , the opportunity to win a LiteOn would be wonderfull. It certainly sounds a great product and I could quickly impress my friends with this.
I am genuinely interested and keen to explore what this product could enable me to do. I love great visual quality which I'm sure is in the product. Realiablity is key for me again it's in this product. All in all a top grade product.

Seriously, I've never tried this Labeltag thingamajig so would like to as this drive doesn't seem to have reached this side of the pond.

I currently have a Lite-On writer and I love it. It's getting a bit old now from a lot of use so I could sure use a new one.
I'd love to win a new dvd writer because the one I have is always on the fritz and unreliable. I am into vinyl lp to cd conversions as well as video (vhs to cd/dvd) and would love to have a reliable burner!
Dear Sir or Madam
As an aspiring writer myself, I am interested in your offer because to date all my efforts at writing on CDs have only resulted in scratching them.
Do you feel I should perhaps try another type of pencil?
I think a Lite-On would be right on.
Yours faithfully

My dvd writer tray is messed up and have to let a disc inside so it can open again next time.
I'd like to see if I could change my luck by actually winning something!
I would love to have this new drive. My old one is on it's last leg and doesn't have the great technology that this one does. It would be a great win for me.
Its all about the label tag for me. It is brilliant. I've had disks destroyed because those paste-on labels peel off. And I'm not keen on wasting a lot of expensive printer ink to print labels. The Lightscribe discs just look bad (sorry about that!). All I need is a simple ID that tells me whats on the disk. I don't need to try to be a graphic artist or spend twice as much time burning a label on a disc. Label tag is simply brilliant. Also, I love Lite-ON. I bought three drives for systems I've built and its the brand I now turn to.
My first DVD writer was the liteon LDW-811S. I bought when it just comercialized and i stay happy of this.
So i trust of this brand and i would be very happy to have this new one
So i trust of this brand and i would be very happy to have this new one
I would like one as I am having a VERY bad week. The video card on my main system went out taking they motherboard and psu along with it. My trusty NEC dvd burner stopped burning CDs a couple of months ago to add to the misery. With being out of work replacing all of this stuff is pretty much out of the question for quite some time.
i have always used pioneer dvd burners, i look at forums and posts about lite-on but have never tried one i am looking to build a new system and this would be a great time to try one out!

Where are the contest rules? If I'm going to enter, I'd like to know what the rules are. Oh wait—I just entered, didn't I...
The truth is that I want to receive this drive for the same reason everyone else does—I want it because the price (if I win) is very attractive.
The blurb quoted above doesn't say anything about why I think I "deserve" it, but in the absence of any clearly defined contest rules, and in case it has any bearing on the matter:
• My existing drive makes senile noises—the kind my grandfather use to make.
• I didn't know one of my kids was going to put oatmeal in it.
• The fact that I recently bought and installed a new drive for my wife's computer instead of buying one for myself was not the selfless act it might appear to be; if Mama ain't happy, no one's happy.
• My preferred choice never even gets a chance in ANY political election ("None of the above").
• My research project lost its funding. The banks that issue my credit cards got gazillion$ in bailout money. I didn't.
• There are weasels in my bathtub.
Live long and prosper, y'all.

I would like one to go with my new PC that I just built. And a free one to replace the ones that quit working on me.
I'm going off the grid and am burning as many movies and TV shows before either America is turned into a Police State or Climate Change puts Florida and a lot of the inland under water ;~)
I want to win the new Lite-on, would love to see if they can out do themselves again!!!
Why I want a free one - because I can't afford to upgrade my system - had to quit all pay work because of medical problems and damn it gets boring being at home 24 hours a freaking day.
So make at least one day different and give me something for free.

To replace/supplement the LG I bought to replace my dearly departed Lite-On.
I want to win this just because it would be fun!
I would really love to win a Lite-On DVD drive for my photo collection.
I am a Grandfather of 6 and Great-Grandfather of two. I seem to be the main photographer in the family cause I just love to photograph my grandchildren's antics and experessions. You know they will never come again, it is such a short window of opportunity that I know just how valueable these pictures will be to my grandkids in the future.
Taking them is one thing, storing and distributing them is another matter. Burning them on to discs insures they will never be lost. I would love to be able to use this Lite-On drive to distribute copys of these pictures to all the parents and children.

A typical name brand disc burner only lasts me a year or two because I burn so many discs not only for myself but for others also and I don't charge them for it either. Sometime though I may ask someone to supply some discs because I am running low on discs at that time but at least 95% of the time I don't because I have plenty, and I have been offered many times compensation for my services but 99.9% of the time I refused it because satisfaction on their part with the burn disc(s) is payment enough, except one time I did accept compensation because if I did not they would have more than likely got mad at me and I have even had a family member get mad at me because I don't except monetary compensation. But even what I did receive got all spent on discs and I have burned well over 1500 discs, and went through at least 2 different name brand super multi-format disc burners in the last couple of years. I am also learning constantly even today on different ways to burn discs like what is the proper speed to burn games, movies etc... or what data type to use in a particular situation. I have also learned along the way a few tricks to bypass certain things that are preventing me from burning things on disc, and from my experience I can usually tell when a disc burner is nearing its life cycle or If somethings defective with the disc burner or disc(s) themselves, so it is a constant learning process with a lot of trial and error involved. I don't ever pay full price for discs because I know now exactly what places have them on sale constantly, and I prefer buying in bulk 100-disc packs(which is the largest pack amount that the store carries) but 50- packs would suffice if there were no 100-packs left, and I usually buy at least 2 100-packs at a time but if I can afford more at that time I will buy more. Which reminds me one time I went to one of these stores and they were getting rid of one of many particular brands of disc media that they sell there, and they were having an unadvertised sale on the particular disc media brand in which I think 100-pack cdr's were $3.50 and 100- pack dvd-r's were like $4.00 and 10-packs of dvd-dl discs with cases were $2.50 per 10 pack(which is cheap considering how much they normally sell for) and I did not really know about the sale until I cashed out, needless to say me and my mother went back to the store the same day and practically bought out the store of that one particular brand that the store was getting rid of, though we left a few for others because we did not want to be complete hogs. I am currently using an hp 24x multi-format(which is the standard for me) burner which is working out pretty good so far though It is a replacement(under warranty for free) of the defective one I got with my brand new computer that I got on black friday of 2009 which was a great deal nonetheless. I have heard good things about the lite-on brand but unfortunately I don't think any retail stores carry the lite-on brand in my area so I have never tried a lite-on brand burner though I am definitely interested in trying one. If I were to win one of the Lite-On iHAS524 DVD Writers, I would be very grateful and would put it through plenty of use and would definitely post a review about it not to long after I started using it and would update the review when necessary.
Heck Yeah--send it to me--then I'll trash my HP burner if it doesn't trash itself-
What's LabelTag?
I had a lite-on CD burner in my dell computer that I got back in the late 90's. When a lightning bolt toasted that PC, I swapped my trusty old Lite-on into my new rig. I then had a stick of RAM go out, and in a rush to finish a video editing project I was working on, ordered a new mobo ASAP, without checking each stick of RAM. Unfortunately, the new mobo only had one IDE slot, meaning I had to give up my old trusty Litey after over a decade of faithful service. If this is a SATA drive, I would very much like to drop it in my case.
Is this a world wide competition or another US only??
I only have a cdrw drive in my pc. I would love a dependable dvd recorder in my pc, instead. I have a lite-on dvd recorder attached to my tv; it's about 5 years old and works great! I've had great success with the Lite-On name and products. I can't really afford a new dvd recorder at this time, but would love to win this one. Either way, I'm a Lite-On advocate, for life.
So many posts of new users with 1-3 messages each.
A massive flood of new users ? or a massive clone attack of greedy old users ?

The only Burners I have owned have been Lite-On, There marvelous and I have never had a problem with them, My last one got destroyed when I lent it to a freind.
He left it on his desk and his dog got to it, He said the dog pried it open and completely destroyed it. D:
I wouldn't mind having another one though since they last so long, and never give me problems.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Lite-on RULES!!!! is why I would like one
I have two lite-on dvd burners but they are old and probably need replaced and upgraded. I have made these my drives of choice; its payback time. :-)
Because I'm greedy
Who wouldn't want a free Lite-On iHAS524.?
When I win it, I'll leave the Lite-On for ya...
When I win it, I'll leave the Lite-On for ya...
For testing purposes, of course. What else?
Light on with lite on-curious to try out!
Because time is precious and a sub-four-minute burn would save the world approximately a googleplex of minutes over the remaining lifetime of the planet so, you see, it's an ecological breakthrough as well, eh?
I would like to win this drive because I been looking forward to getting it for months now and now that it is actually for sale I still have been unable to find anywhere to get it in the United States.

Since my LDW-811S, I have not had a Lite-On drive. After that drive wore out, I used a Pioneer DVR-109 which just completely died after 4 1/2 years. (Within the last 6 months, I tried a (DOA) Sony and a Samsung which I guess I had bad luck with. The Samsung would work fine if I booted into DOS or Linux, but was useless in Windows!) I would certainly love to try a new Lite-on in my computer.
NEVER seen that many 1 posters in one thread. You people are pathetic!!
I want it because my burners are 2 years old. It will be nice to have something new to test before blu-ray burner transition. Labeltag is the nice feature I didn't tried yet. And, if I win this one, I will give my old burner to a friend because his burner died.
I would likt to win it because the only Lite-on's I can buy here are the Y-ones (Nec)!
I would love to have a new lite on DVD+R drive and I think I deserve it because
I am a Grandpa and I have the best grandkids in the world
I want to put the kids videos and pictures on a DVD that is why I need this DVD Recorder Liteon are the Best

I have a Samsung 20x drive and an old 16x NEC drive so I'd like to swap out the nec ide drive for a nice new 24x dvd writer. If I were to be selected to get this new lite-on drive I'd offer my nec 3500g to someone since I wouldn't need it anymore. I think its nice to hand down tech to those who can't afford a new one. So, that's it..
LiteOn makes quality and reliable products!
Hi all it would be real nice to be a Winner and use all the new features of the brand new Lite-On iHAS524 DVD Writer.
I have never owned a Lite-On and with the big wrapps! in Dee's review it would be Nice to replace my old outdated failing Samsung drive with all the new technologies inclueded with My brand new Lite-On iHAS524 DVD Writer.
Thanks
Waynezzzz.

I'm still thinking of my winning entry before the 8th gets here. It's all in the timing
My younger brother's (non Lite-On) DVD writer died on him a few days ago.
Feeling charitable, I planned on donating my current (and spectacular, might I add) Lite-On iHAS422 to him.
In searching for the newest/latest/greatest Lite-On has to offer, to replace the empty slot that would now be in my computer, I came across the Lite-On iHAS524 - and this thread.
Not only that, but the final day of the contest (March 8th) just so happens to also be on my birthday (I can email a copy of my driver's license to MyCE for proof, haha)!
I'd love to turn my younger brother's misfortune into an upgrade for him, and also receive a great birthday gift as well!

Lite-On DVDs are the best scanners but for some reason they are exremely hard to find in Greece. Usually only older models are available and even those are hard to find. Winning the Lite-On iHAS524 (which of course is not available here) would be a great addition to my pc and a good companion for my trusted (but scanning-impaired) NEC 3500.
LiteON are the all time top burners and scanners, and it's almost impossible to get one where I live, unless I win this one

I wonder if I could go back to my old job of submitting news items here. If I recall, my submissions garnered a fair amount of comments. Probably due to my unbiased reporting.
"Nuke the unborn gay whales !!!"
I would like to win because lite-on brand drives offers great performance
at a cheap price. I've been looking for a new drive to reply my old lite-on
lh-20a1s drive and think this would make an excellent replacement.

I probably don't stand a chance in you know where of winning because I'm just like a lot of other folk that have old burners and need a new one .I'm 60 years old and in joy listening to the blues.I have a lot of music I haven't heard yet because it's crammed on to dvds that a friend copied for me and would like to put on cds to listen to ,I can't afford to a Ipod or other players.My computer is a 2005 build and a little slow but i do with what I've got.Love the forum it's helped me a few times.
Once upon a time I also used a Lite-On drive. Was a very happy person then. Bad times than fell on my country and Lite-On was no more. Or so it felt to me.
Had to use Samsung drives(couple different ones) till now. Not so happy person at the moment.
I am a sports coach from South Africa. Needs a very good DVD-writer to burn the analysis discs for use by my athletes. I am experiencing a lot of compatibility problems with the current burners. Am using Verbatim DVD's.
I could really do with this quality drive. Lite-On drives are almost impossible to get hold of in South Africa.
Am willing to pay for the postage.

Simply put; I like to stay with and on the cutting edge of high-technology and this drive would nearly double my current burning speed and efficiency.

To sell it to a friend of mine who has a computers shop, and donate the money to the Haitians.
I have been waiting for way over a year for either the iHAS524 or the iHAS624 to become available and have followed the sloooooooowly developing news about delays due to laser components and now that it's here (not quite in North America yet I'm positively bursting with anticipation.
Currently all the DVDs which I produce at events have to be lightscribed which is very time consuming and apparently not a permanent solution as they tend to fade.
So I want one of these right now to produce some labeltagged DVDs and then duplicate to see if only liteon labeltag enabled drives are usable in a duplicator attempting to make copies of our event videos or if once written with a iHAS524 does the disc duplicate with any ole burner It's win win either way because if a labeltagged DVD can't be copied by any other type of burner then there is a neat copy protection aspect to the iHAS524 and its north American version, the iHAS624
These units will free up tremendous time for me in the disc preparation faze. Literally giving me back my life for hours and hours each event

So I want one of these right now to produce some labeltagged DVDs and then duplicate to see if only liteon labeltag enabled drives are usable in a duplicator attempting to make copies of our event videos or if once written with a iHAS524 does the disc duplicate with any ole burner It's win win either way because if a labeltagged DVD can't be copied by any other type of burner then there is a neat copy protection aspect to the iHAS524 and its north American version, the iHAS624

I'd love to replace the crappy new Memorex writer that the manufacturer doesn't even acknowledge exists on their own website.
Mine is slow and the tray won't open some times.
I need to be a winner of the newest Lite-on DVD writer because here in Brazil i only can burn my DVDs using matches and candles instead the power of red laser of the Lite-on.

I have been a long time Light-on user and have always had very good luck or shall I say value for my money with their products. I recommend them to anyone who asks me what I use. As a novice user who does quite a bit of burning for family and friends and myself I look for value, quality, and durability. I have all of those in Lite-on and recently I have had to go on disability which has shaken my world in many ways including all of a sudden I have to really watch the money I spend. This comes at a time when I know that I am going to face a burning drive replacement and it would be awesome if I could win this as it would allow me to continue to make the photo cd's and edit home movies for friends, a hobby that is a source of happiness for me. I also would be willing to submit reviews and comments in the use of this drive if I was to win. I know that the determination will be a tough one for those who choose, but please keep me in mind when making that choice. It would be ever so great and I would be ever so grateful.
Thank You For Taking The Time To Read This.

I would like to have this burner myself to run with my existing old Samsung, that I got with my Dell Dimension 4700. I burn alot of pictures and programs for the Boy Scouts as my son is working towards his Eagle. This would really give some new modern life to my old reliable Dell. Probably won't get one, but thanks for the chance. Have a great day...
I now need a dvd burner so Ican copy my daughters wedding dvd to send to friends and family around the world. Idid not realise that my dvd drive did not burn DVDs
I deserve to win this because other competition i entered i did not win and thisone i want to win.
Simply put, currently i don't have a dvd burner and i need to backup music etc. where i live there is no importer of decent models and manufactures such as Pioneer and Lite on, so it is kind like a russian roulette to buy a decent drive in my country .moreover if i was lucky to find a decent dvd drive (which is very rare)
it`s always very expansive (tax issue).
all in all i don't have a dvd drive , i need a backup drive and i am pretty sure that i wont find Lite-On iHAS524 DVD Writer in stores. i do hope you understand the circumstances and give this drive to to whom is really needs it.
Thank you in advance.

l want to win that brand new Lite-On iHAS524 DVD Writer as the one l am using now has a mind of its own it some times when it feels like it will eject and sometimes it wont most of the time l have to manually eject and close the cd tray and as l am on a disability support pension where l suffer chronic back pain and chronic fatigue, so l cannot afford to get a new one plus the pc is all l have left in life that keeps me occupied in watching movies to playing games and surfing the net.
Thank u for ur time Eagle

Dee wrote an in-depth review on the iHAS524 DVD writer, which she summarized as: “A great feature set and not too many negative points, the Lite-On iHAS524 is generally an excellent drive”.

I have own several drive, 1st it was a generic drive with a brand tag 4kus dvdrom, died after 1 year, 2nd lg cdwriter, died after 2 years, then liteon 16x dvdwriter, still using it till now, I bought my clone pc pre-assembled last january 2003, guess how old is my liteon dvdwriter? its already 5 years since i bought it 1 year before the last one died and its still is strong, wondering why it wont die. If I win this Liteon iHAS 524, whooow another 5 years to keep on my collection of dvd's with additional functionality which fits the budget (coz its giveaway) and the new write speed of 24x, no more minutes of waiting its seconds.
Thanks for reading its long. XNUW

my old liteon has stop reading dvds now,so i want a new liteon (my trusted brand till now).
I have a very old lite-on burner (LDW-411) ... with which I burned a lot of CD/DVD without problems, so it is time to change, isnt it?
i have this drive it is slow compered to samsung drive ie 223 series and lg any
I'm in the process of building a new PC and one of these most excellent Lite-On iHAS524's would make a nice addition to my new machine.
At the moment I don't have a dvd burner and i have to backup mp3 songs. besides i cant find Lite-on products in general and specifically Lite-On iHAS524 DVD Writer in my country so if i win the Lite-On iHAS524 DVD i can be the first ambassador of Lite-On in my country.
Thank you in advance

ya i found that out the other day
I'd really like to win this drive because the label tag technology could do a lot of use in producing my band's cds and selling them in concerts.
I would like to win this drive because all my other burners are IDE and I would like to try a SATA one.
hmmm it's March 8th and no winner yet
or maybe there is a winner and i didn't win
or maybe there is a winner and i didn't win
Dee won it didn't you here or see the announcement?
I thought the one Dee used in the review was one of the ones they were giving away?
I am not sure but I am sure later this week we'll hear of the winners? Or I hope. I really wouldn't mind giving Lite-On another chance but I refuse to buy as they always died on me too fast before.
I was just following your lead
I wonder what the next give away will be

I'm not sure MP|3 has deep pockets after Tax took him out in the last poker game a few weeks ago
Absolutely nothing left Bob
All right, it's time to announce the winners!
In cooperation with LiteOn, we went through all your reactions - which were quite a lot - and this resulted in a short list. A computer picked two winners at random from this shortlist.
Therefore, we are happy to congratulate Dragemester and BSCookson on winning a LiteOn iHAS524 DVD Writer!
