Lite-On SOHW-832S Reviewed on 07/09/2004

The Bottom Line: 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.

Specs: DVD±RW, Internal, 40x (CD) / 12x (DVD), 40x (CD) / 8x (DVD±R), 24x (CD) / 4x (DVD±RW)

The Bottom Line: Sony's first double-layer DVD burner does its job well, but double-layer burning itself is a mixed blessing.

Specs: DVD±RW (+R DL), 40x (CD) / 12x (DVD), 40x (CD) / 8x (DVD±R) / 2.4x (DVD+R DL), 24x (CD) / 4x (DVD±RW)

The Bottom Line: Iomega's jack-of-all-trades DVD burner turns out to be a master of none, though it does include good software and support.

Specs: DVD±RW / DVD-RAM, 32x (CD) / 12x (DVD), 24x (CD) / 4x (DVD-R) / 8x (DVD+R), 16x (CD) / 2x (DVD-RW) / 4x (DVD+RW) / 3x (DVD-RAM)
