  Review: Nu Tech DDW-081 8x DVD+R/RW drive
Time: 13:08 EST/18:08 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: David Gasior

CDRLabs.com has reviewed the flagship of Nu Tech's new line of DVD writers: the DDW-081. Announced this October, the DDW-081 takes DVD writing speeds to the next level. Based on Philips' new "Nexperia" platform, this new drive features 8x DVD+R and 4x DVD+RW writing speeds and a maximum DVD read speed of 12x. The DDW-081 also offers 40x CD reading and writing speeds, 10x rewriting speeds and features like Seamless Link buffer underrun protection. Here's some of their review:

If you're looking for a fast DVD writer, the DDW-081 definitely won't disappoint. When it comes to writing DVD's, the DDW-081 is hard to beat. Thanks to its 8x DVD+R writing speeds, it was able to write 4GB of data in less than 8 minutes. The drive was also pretty quick when reading DVD's. The DDW-081 was able to read single layer data DVD's at 12x and recordable media at a respectable 8x. Unfortunately, it slowed down to 4x when reading DVD videos.

While priced affordably, the Nu Tech's new DVD+RW drive has many features found on more expensive writers. To prevent buffer underruns, the DDW-081 has 2MB buffer that is backed up by Seamless Link technology. While the buffer was a little smaller than we'd like, this system worked very well to prevent coasters. Like Plextor's new DVD writer, the DDW-081 can also write to select 4x DVD+R media at 8x. With 8x DVD+R media just starting to ship, this is a feature that many will appreciate. Unfortunately, the DDW-081 is lacking support for the Mt. Rainier format. This was a little surprising seeing it was one of the features listed on the box and Nu Tech's website. According to Nu Tech, support for this feature will be added by the end of December via a firmware update.

So how much does the DDW-081 cost? $150? $200? As I mentioned earlier, one of the best things about Nu Tech's new drive is its price. Currently going for as low as $132 on Pricewatch, the DDW-081 is definitely one of the best bangs for your buck.

Absolutely not! Whether you order cheap Viagra online, or stand in a long queue at your local pharmacy to buy your supply of Viagra - the quality of the product is identical. You'll get the same high-quality ingredients from both sources. The major differences are price and convenience. , http://www.viagratr2015.com/ viagra online stories, http://www.onlinecigarettestoreus.com/american-spirit-cigarettes-hipster/ american spirit cigarettes hipster, http://www.genericviagra2015shop.com/ generic viagra substitute,

Reasons for these elevated rates of injury and illness include lack of worker experience, inadequate training, and the reluctance that some teens feel about speaking up when they are in unsafe situations. http://www.viagratr2015.com/ viagra and prescription http://www.cialisonlineshop2015.com/ cialis line australia http://www.viagraonline2015shopusa.com/ viagra super online

The old days of visiting a pharmacy to buy Cialis are no longer practical. People's lifestyles have become so hectic that making an appointment to visit a pharmacy to pick up the pills is now inconvenient. And even though a patient can phone in an order using a mobile phone, when you buy Cialis from a pharmacy you have no choice but to drop by and pick up the order in person., http://www.cialisonlineshop2015.com/ generic cialis spain, http://www.viagratr2015.com/ viagra prescription nhs, http://www.viagraonline2015shopusa.com/ cheap viagra online,

As a result of sexual stimulation, an enzyme known as Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibits the healthy flow of blood through the penile system, which prevents erection. Males facing difficulty performing sexually need to buy Kamagra so that the pills can cause erectile tissues of the penis to enhance blood flow, which in turn results in an erection. , http://www.viagratr2015.com/ viagra pricing generic, http://www.cialisonlineshop2015.com/ cialis usa price, http://www.cialisonlineshop2015.com/ cialis buying internet,
