10 DVD Burners: 16x and Dual-Layer - or Nothing!

[Guest]

Nearly all manufacturers have come out this year with a DVD burner rated at 16x writing speed, and we tested 10 of them.

The real distinction is in how the burners recognize 16x media; the results here are rather astonishing!

Please report noise levels in optical drive reviews. This is a big factor in which drive to buy for some people. My current DVD burner sounds like a jet engine for 5 minutes after putting a disc in.
