| The Bottom Line | Though double-layer burning is getting all the hype, you're still better off with a single-layer burner: this one. | This Plextor is a fast and versatile internal drive supporting single/dual-layer DVD media--one of the best on the market today. | One of the fastest DVD-rewritable drives on the market, Plextor's groundbreaking PX-708A delivers an all-around top-notch performance. | Lite-On's double-layer SOHW-832S is a very good DVD burner, but double-layer burning technology needs time to mature before it's totally worth the investment. | |
