The Bottom Line	A solid burner/rewriter for CDs and DVDs, though poor playback compatibility may cause users to wait before moving to DL technology.	TDK's Indi DVD 840G uses the same underlying hardware as the excellent Plextor PX-708A, with similarly solid performance and features.	Sony's first double-layer DVD burner does its job well, but double-layer burning itself is a mixed blessing.	The Plextor PX-810SA internal CD/DVD burner is quick for both ripping and burning. We like it.	Despite some petty penny-pinching on Sony's part, the DRU-510A establishes a new industry standard for burning performance and versatility.
