Dual Layer DVD Shootout - ASUS vs. Gigabyte 16x Recorders
Author: Cameron Johnson SUMMARY: Today we step aside from the usual motherboard or processor review and take a look at two of the latest DVD burners to emerge from two large Taiwanese companies, ASUS and Gigabyte. Both drives support DVD burning at 16x and both support Dual Layer burning. If you're on the market for a new DVD burner, one of these might be what you're looking for.

Introduction

As we have done in the past, it’s now time once again at TweakTown to have a look at some of the other products on the market that make up our PC’s. Most of us focus on the processor, motherboard, memory and so on but forget some of the other products that are out there that make up the PC.

One of the biggest things to come out is DVD recorders. With CD’s now filling to their limits very quickly with DIVX movies, DVD was simply the most logical step. And hasn’t it evolved very quickly.

It took CD-R units years to come down in price, and just as much time for CD-RW to makes its impression and price mark. DVD has plummeted in price at record pace. First with single layer drives, then re-writers now we have Dual Layer drives cheap as chips compared to that of the CD-RW units, you wouldn’t think about using them.

Today we are taking a look at two new models that have hit our test labs, one from Gigabyte and one from ASUS. Both are ATAPI Dual Standard and Dual Layer DVD Rewriters with a maximum speed of 16x DVD-R and a 4x DVD+R DL write. Which is worth your money? Let’s have a look!
