The drive's write speed includes, 48X CD-R, 24X CD-RW, 12X DVD+R, 8X DVD-R, 4X DVD+RW, 4X DVD-RW. And it's read speed comes in at 48X CD-ROM/CD-R, and 16X DVD-ROM.

    these damn posts about some dumb, incremental and not inovative improvement in technology? Was anyone actually surprised that DVD burners have, in fact, increased in speed? Big friggin deal. Unless this DVD burner can make coffee or some crap, i dont see why its on slashdot.
