Yep, DVD burners are still on the radar, despite the HD media noise.

LG and Samsung are both vying for the ‘world’s fastest’ claim this week for DVD burners. LG’s external USB 2.0 DVD burner, the GSA-E60N [see photo above] claims that it can burn DVD+/-R at 20x. This is indeed fast.

The Samsung drive, the SH-S203N, is an internal drive and touts the ability to burn DVD+R dual layer discs at 16x – the fastest yet by 30-40%. It can also manage to burn DVD-R DL at 12x and single layer DVD+/-R discs at 20x.

Both support LightScribe technology and both will cost around £40 when they launch here sometime this month.-Martin Lynch
