My SXPS 16 arrived today!
But how do I check whether dell gave me the right optical drive or not? My specs includes the blu-ray ROM The current driver name is "HL - DT - ST DVDRWBD CA10N ATA Device" |

If you launch My Computer you'll see your optical drive as BD-ROM Drive (X:) where X is your drive letter.But how do I check whether dell gave me the right optical drive or not? My specs includes the blu-ray ROM The current driver name is "HL - DT - ST DVDRWBD CA10N ATA Device" The hardware name for my Blue-Ray drive is listed as "Optiarc DVDRWBD BC-5600S ATA Device". |

QUOTE(hrd @ Mar 26 2009, 11:01 PM) i think Japan spec Dell will have better QC yea,made in china. it takes 2 weeks or more cos of international shipping. QC shouldnt be tht much diff. but so far its quite good. froze twice on me but got no wobbly feet and not as hot as i imagined.i heard that it will take longer (2 to 4 weeks) to get yr system so yr laptop "Made In China"? |

I noticed the new BIOS will regulate the fan speed more efficiently, instead of blasting it all the time. |
