Sony DRU-720A: Speed Increases All Around

Write Time/Quality Test - DVD+/-RW 4x Media
Though the DRU-720A is capable of writing +RW at 8x speeds and - RW at 6x speeds, we did not have any media on hand to test the drive. So, we used Ritek brand RW media rated at 4x to test the quality of the write. Take a look at our results.
Hold mouse over for the Ritek 004 DVD+RW image.
Screenshots of the 4x RW media read and write processes in Nero CD-DVD Speed as well as scans with PlexTools have been compressed into a downloadable zip file: 4xrw.zip

You mean "paper launched"?semo - Sunday, March 6, 2005 - link
#4ati x800xt pe were barely available and it took them longer to arive at your doorstep than to play all the games it was intended for
lightscribe is a new technology and as such suffers from the same problems any other "just launched" product suffers from

still 4x DL huh? For me theres not much point upgrading till the DL/R9 standard is x8 at least.V00D00 - Sunday, March 6, 2005 - link
Lightscribe is a joke. The disks are barely available, and it takes longer to make the label than it does to burn the disk.Anyway.. the real reason I'm commenting is because I think that little pin isn't to aid the switch of the front bezel, it's the emergency eject pin.
