DamnedIfIknow and Lacrymator both used our
news
submit to tell us "Until now, eight-speed
burners were at the top of the range." - Huh? Guess the author never heard of the 12x burners! Lacrymator wonders: Very fast indeed.. But will it make good backups?
Electronics has launched the world"s first 16-speed DVD writer, which can burn a disc in less than six minutes, the Dutch group said on Tuesday.Philips said it planned to produce 600,000 of the devices every month. Computer makers will pay between 80 and 90 euros (US$ 97 to 109) per DVD writer when buying in large quantities, while consumers will have to pay around 180 euros. |
I don't know either Lacrymator but, it sure makes 8X kind of boring. The
progress with DVD is staggering - but, is this the end of the line? At less
than 6 minutes to fill over 4 gigs does it matter? No, let's see if the
manufactures cn pull off the same magic with double layer. Also, give us some
media too! We're ready for it!
