  Benq DW800A - the DVD recordable drive to get?
Time: 13:46 EST/18:46 GMT | News Source: CDFreaks | Posted By: David Gasior

CD Freaks has received some interesting information about the Benq DW800A 8x DVD burner. While currently it supports only DVD+R/+RW writing, one of their sources has stated that it will get dual format support (adding DVD-R/-RW capabilities) via a firmware update in January 2004. And then a few months later (hopefully the March/April timeframe), they will release a firmware update to allow writing to the dual-layer DVD+R standard.

Considering that the drive retails for $199 -- but can be picked up online for under $150 -- these firmware updates would make it a great bargain. Hopefully these rumors are true. We'll post more as we hear.
