"It is a nice review for the average user. Of course you will find no quality
scans etc just the standard read/write spead tests by comparing the drive to
Plextor"s 708A and Liteon"s DWU18 drives."
Sony's DRU-700A is a superb first generation dual layer DVD ReWritable drive. It can burn the ultra-high capacity dual layer discs with ease, but is also lightning fast at burning both DVD+R and DVD-R media, and is a very solid performer in the CD-RW/DVD-ROM areas as well. The drive is quick, quiet, comes with a decent software bundle, and black or white faceplates, so aesthetics should not be an issue. Hopefully for Sony's next generation dual-layer product, we'll see faster dual-layer burn speeds, and perhaps the introduction of a Serial ATA/150 connection, but these are mere wants, not gripes with the current product. The only qualm we have is that Sony doesn't include any blank media with the drive, but in the grand scheme of things, that's a pretty small problem considering all the new technology in play here. The DRU-700A is another very solid DVD ReWritable drive from Sony. Highly recommended. |
