Plextor PX-608CU
The Plextor PX-608CU portable DVD burner is a great match for users who have a laptop without a built-in DVD burner; we just don't know who that might be.

DVDýRW (ýR DL) / DVD-RAM =24x (CD) / 8x (DVD) =24x (CD) / 8x (DVDýR) / 4x (DVDýR DL) =24x (CD) / 6x (DVD-RW) / 8x (DVD+RW) / 5x (DVD-RAM)

LaCie d2 External Blu-ray burner (2X BD-R/E)
The LaCie d2 Blu-ray burner offers good performance speeds, but it's still prohibitively expensive. Home users should wait for Blu-ray burners to drop in price and improve in performance.

BD-RE =32x (CD) / 8x (DVD) / 2x (BD) =24x (CD) / 8x (DVDýR) / 4x (DVDýR DL) / 2x (BD-R) / 2x (BD-R DL) =16x (CD) / 6x (DVD-RW) / 8x (DVD+RW) / 2x (BD-RE) / 2x (BD-RE DL)

Sony BWU-100A Blu-ray Burner
The Sony BWU-100A Blu-ray burner is still priced out of range for most users, but if you have $700 to spare, it's a good choice for its range of media support and acceptable task speeds.

Sony DVDirect VRD-MC3
Although it's pricey, the Sony DVDirect VRD-MC3 is a boon for anyone who has lots of old videotapes but less time or tech skills to digitize them using a computer. Even better, it doubles as an external DVD burner, so you can use it with your PC long after you've transferred all those old tapes.

DVDýRW (ýR DL) =40x (CD) / 16x (DVD) =40x (CD) / 16x (DVDýR) / 8x (DVDýR DL) =24x (CD) / 6x (DVD-RW) / 8x (DVD+RW)

Pioneer BDR-101A
The first Blu-ray burner to hit the market, the Pioneer BDR-101A gives you 25GB of storage on a single disc and its actual write speeds nearly match its rated 2X spec. Still, it's a first-generation drive that's too expensive for anyone but professionals and enthusiasts working with HD video.

BD-RE =8x (DVD) / 2x (BD) =DVD:8x(ýR),2x(-R DL),2.4x(+R DL)/BD:2x(-R) =4x (DVD-RW) / 8x (DVD+RW) / 2x (BD-RE)
