CDRInfo has also posted a lengthy review of BTC's new 8x dual format DVD writer, the DRW1008IM. Here's a snippet:
Overall, the BTC drive performed satisfactorily and appears to be a reliable, quality recorder. The reading speeds for CD/DVD were rather good. Although we estimate that the 6x reading for DVD+RW and DVD-RW is low and could be faster. The seek times were acceptable with CD media but they could be better with DVD media.
In the DVD recording tests we would like to see the writing speed beginning at 6x rather than 4x, and the duration with 6x writing to be less. Apart from this the drive performed well without errors. The recording quality for DVD media was good, according to KProbe measurements.
BTC will plans to release a Bit Setting software for the drive in order to achieve better compatibility for the DVD+R/+RW format.
