Yesterday, I posted a news message about the new 32x writer from Asus. By then I already said why 32x, since there was almost no increase in (speed) performance compared to a 24x writer.
Well, here it is: world's first 36x writer! Cyberdrive announces a 32x and a 36x writer all at once!

To be honest, I don't know what to expect from these drives. As far as I remember, Cyberdrive produces not-so-good drives for a low price. But... who says they are still the same? They may be a serious threat for LiteOn one day, who knows?
