There is some uncertainty on which will be the one, between Sony Optiarc and Lite-On, to market the first drive of such kind, but the fact is that DVD burners will once again exceed the maximum write speed limit going from 22x to 24x. Both companies will release the new optical drives between March and May, and though in practice the speed difference isn't amazing at all, the new breakthrough shows that firms continue to invest in a technology with a surprisingly long life."

Damn, I wonder what the error rate will be until better burning media arrives . I know that some will "say" they'll burn @t hose speeds, in reality, not 100% correct.

In the past year or so, Iv'e done much less in the way of burning, and more in terms of server storage. Just less clutter. I have hunderds of disks, searching through them is a task, now do a search on a local external, or FTP, and BAM, there it is, load it right from the source instantly, or close to.

Lite-On is the only brand i've had that has withstood being used tons of times every day...and they are cheaper, but still last for what seems like twice as long as any other drive brand i've used.
