  Review: Sony DRU-720A Double Layer 16x DVD±RW drive
Time: 16:11 EST/21:11 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: David Gasior

CDRLabs.com has posted an in-depth review of Sony's latest DVD writer, the DRU-720A. Capable of writing DVD-R and DVD+R media at 16x, DVD+RW media at 8x, DVD-RW media at 6x, DVD+R DL media at 4x, and CD-R/-RW media at 48x/24x respectively. Is this drive, based on the Lite-On SOHW-1673S, worth consideration for upgrading your machine? How does it stack up against its competition? Here's a snippet from the review:

When it comes down to it, the performance of Sony's new DVD±RW drive was pretty mixed. While the DRU-720A turned in some very good times when writing to DVD±R, DVD±RW and DVD+R DL media, there were a number of cases where the writing quality could have been better.

While Sony's new drive wrote to most of our test media at its rated speeds, it was not able to write to any 8x DVD±R discs at 16x. The DRU-720A's writing quality also could have been better, especially when writing at 16x ... the PI/PIF rates were pretty high at these speeds.
You can read the entire review over at the CDRLabs.com site.
