    Top 10 DVD Drives

    This month's chart is packed with drives that can manage both DVD-R and DVD+R writes at 8X.This month's chart is packed with drives that can manage both DVD-R and DVD+R writes at 8X. Seven of the ten drives--including a trio of newcomers from AOpen, Lite-On, and TDK--support the faster speed. We also retested the Sony DRU-530A, which we first evaluated as part of our April 2004 DVD roundup. This time, we used a newer firmware version, available as a free download from Sony's Web site. This upgrade adds 8X DVD-R and 4X DVD-RW capabilities to the drive; in addition, it boosts DVD+R write performance by 22 percent over the previous firmware version. Read more
