Data buffer only 2 MB , what's happen to 8 mb buffer?

No North American release date announced either. Good to see 16x isn't the maximum speed though for burning.

10x dual layer speed, too...that's a pretty nice kicker....i hope lite on puts out one with an 8mb buffer, i may think about buying it since my cdrw drive is finally starting to kick the bucket....

I'm waiting for a blue-ray burner before I decide to upgrade. I'd never pay Plextor prices in any case. I'd sooner buy a Sony.
