Review: Anand Tech's "Summer 2005 16x DVDR Roundup"

[jjcom]

It is difficult to benchmark a DVDR drive for that reason. Firmware can change once a year, or even as quick as once a day, depending on the team in charge of testing the units. Therefore, performance can change drastically from year to year, or day to day.

So, the BenQ DW1620 is the best to get, or?

I wonder what drive to buy then...

I just go buy either the cheapest one that got 4-5 star rating on a site. or just get the cheapest one...which has turned out well for me...I bought the CD burner I use now for like 20bucks back when they were alot more than that (Rebates are great :D) I have yet to find media it can't write to and it's the fastest drive I've got.

I picked up a Lightscribe DVD burner, I sure like flipping over the media to burn labels on the other side
