TrustedReviews has done a roundup of 16x DVD writers, taking a look at 7 drives from AOpen, Gigabyte, LG, LiteOn, MSI, NEC, and Sony. While they don't have any write quality tests, there is some interesting information here. Here's just a snippet:
We looked at the NEC ND-3500A back in September and gave it an Editor’s Choice award since it was the fastest DVD writer we’d ever seen. Now it’s December and the competition has had a lot of time to catch up, but the NEC is still far and away the fastest drive on test. The retail box may be a little more expensive than some of the other drives seen here, but the ND-3500A is worth every penny and once again grabs an Editor’s Choice award.
