Two weeks ago, a client of mine came to me and said that he wants a faster DVD burner, so I went to the Newegg.com online store and found this Sony DRU-810A DVD DL+/-RW burner selling for about $70.

And at the time it was selling for only $65.00 plus shipping and tax. I showed it to my client and he excitedly said he wanted to get this one. So I jumped right on it and placed the order. My client said that he will mostly use this drive to backup his movie collection and documents


WHATS SO HOT ABOUT IT?
The main reason for this purchase was the burning speed as is always the case for burners. Everyone wants a drive that is faster and faster than everyone else's drive. So this drive can burn single layer DVD+/-R disks at 16X plus it has the capability to burn double layer disks at a whopping 8X speed. Double layer disks are new which allows you to burn a whole movie without any compression or quality loss.


WHATS NOT SO HOT ABOUT IT?
The only problem I can think of is actually not of this drive, but the dual layer media. Since the technology is still fairly new the prices are still higher than regular DVD+/-R media. I would not mind paying about a buck or two for a single disk, but $9.99 was just out of the question at the time. Fortunately, like all new technology, the price has gone down a lot to about two to three bucks a piece. It is still a bit on the expensive side, but at least now you can afford to try it out and see for yourself what the quality is like.
