Forty-Speed CD-RW Shootout

Posted by timothy on from the sir-do-you-know-how-fast-you-were-going dept.

Keefe John writes: "Several months ago, 40x burning became a reality when Plextor got the jump on all of the other optical storage companies with the PX-W4012TA CD-RW. Since then, many companies have been coming out with versions of their own. As with any genre of products, a few stood out above the rest. Namely, the original tried and true Plexwriter; the wallet-friendly Lite-On, and the speed-daemon Teac. Today Techware Labs will be comparing the three drives on their relative merits.

    Slashdot effect eh? I wonder what that is:

    TCP connection to 'ssadler.phy.bnl.gov' failed: Connection refused.

    I guess I'll never know.

    Hey! Now you can buy a 40x writer instead of the boring, pedestrian, so-fifteen-minutes-ago 32x writers that we've had to make do with up till now.

    Cool!

    Is it faster than the 2x I've currently got in my desktop, or the 4x in my laptop? It is? Well then, maybe this review is useful to me after all...

    Cheers,
