First DVD+R9 Burners Reviewed

Posted by simoniker on from the double-the-fun dept.

Hack Jandy writes "DVD dual-layer burners finally seem ready for the public - today, a review of the Sony DRU-700A was posted by Anandtech, and teasers of the BenQ 830A posted at CDRInfo.com. Unfortunately, the drives seem too slow to to really warrant a purchase."

    1) But I just bought a other DVD-RW!!
    2) They'll come down in price eventually
    3) That's way to slow for me! I want gigabytes/sec!
    4) Dual-sides? I think we should be writing on the
    edges as well by now.
