What is the max write speed??

[TiMiX]

Hi,

I'v just got ADSL so now thinking of upgrading to a DVD R/RW burner cos

i need more space to copy files and my standerd CD burner is getting abit

slow at 8/4/32. Im just wondering what the max burn speed of DVD

burners at present? Most of the ones i'v seen have been quite slow

compeard to moden CD burners.

Cheers for any help.

Max speed +RW/-RW is 4x.

Note that in CD technology, 1x = 150 KBps. For DVD, 1x = 1.38 MBps.

To be more specific, the DVD+RW Alliance has approved 4x DVD+R and 4x DVD+RW writing speed while the DVD Forum has approved 4x DVD-R and 2x DVD-RW.

I think he wants the cdr/rw speeds. The Sony DRU500 drives are the fastest at these,as well as DVD + and -.They do cdr at 24x and cdrw at 10x..

Actually,I guess he could mean it either way.But,I guess he has all the info he needs now.
