Im looking for kind of rewiev to see is it good,fast,access time media..how works with bad-cheap media and such..
Btw,it wasnt my choice..Guy owed me some $$$ and gave me this..
I needed a dvd burner anyway and its a dual layer and + and -,At least should be good enoughf for begginner :)
I do have a good reader for audio-copyprotected and i dont burn games..
So only dvd burning -regular stuff is needed :cool: ;)
 
16x +R, 8x -R and only 2.4x DL - how many more drives are there with those spec's ... 2.4x DL is always a shock when you find it on a 16x drive??
Shock about what..since im a newbie now can you explain your thoughts??
 
When the 8x +/-R drives came out with 2.4x on DL media, and the first of the 16x +R drives did 4x on DL (though by uprating 2.4x media to 4x), it was natural to assume that 16x +R support would be paired with 4x on DL by any other makers moving up to this level.

After all, doing twice a normal DVD size, at a leisurely 2.4x, on media that costs more for a single than a 10 pack of single layer, is hardly exciting.

By the time speeds of DL drives and prices of DL media hit acceptable levels, it'll probably be superceded by something better, mind you, unlike the bad old days of CD-R, at least the price of drives isn't a total fright, even though the price of the DL media is.

So far, every drive from my first CD-ROM, through faster, through a slow CD-R, a faster CD-R, and a DVD+/-R, has cost less than the previous one, and I didn't start right at the beginning.
