This seems to be a CD Freaks review weekend! Shortly after OC-Freak's Lite-ON SOHW 1673S review, CD Freaks is proud to present you with another very interesting review. Wesley Novack aka Wesociety has finished and published his review of the Toshiba SD-R5372 16x DVD writer. With its 5x writing speed on DVD+R9 media, this drive was one of the first that offered writing speeds faster than 4x for double layer media.
