Hitachi GSA-4040B - Records To All DVD Formats

[Specialist]

"The GSA-4040B can record to DVD-R and DVD+R discs at 4X speed, DVD-RW discs at 2X, DVD+RW at 2.4X, and DVD-RAM at 3X."

"It is also capable of recording to CD-R discs at 24X and CD-RW discs
at 16X, according to the manufacturer."

By the way, the Ulead DVD-VR plug-in - in VideoStudio 7 and
MediaStudio Pro 7 - works beautifully with the DVD-RAM drives I've
tested.

...and now for the bad news from c/net:
"The IDE drive will be available from June, but only to equipment makers for inclusion into other products."

..and Wireless/Itworld:
"The product will be sold to other electronics companies for inclusion in their products so no end-user pricing is available."
