CdFreaks.com reviews the BenQ DW1620 and gives it the Editor's Choice Award. It probably does TY02 8X + at 16x better then any other burner. It will also do Ritek R03 at 12x and with good burn quality too (where other brands get coasters at 8x). There will be a firmware upgrade in November to increase DL speed to 4x.
