The Blue-site Hardware has obtained information from the technical support of Lite-On on the CD / DVD / Blu-ray LH-2B1S. According to the information obtained by our colleague, the LH-2B1S could soon benefit from an update to its firmware to add support for burning the Blu-ray at the speed of 4X (18 Mb / sec) which is at least a very good news because it doubles the maximum speed currently supported by the LH-2B1S (2X or 9 MB / sec). It is not yet known what date this firmware is available and if the burn 4X will exclusively concern BD-R or media also rewritable BD-RE. Anyway, we should soon be fixed if it is confirmed.
If buying a burner Blu-ray you are interested, you can take a look at the test conducted by Blue-Hardware precisely on the Lite-On LH-2B1S.
