Is It Time to Buy Double-Layer 8.5 GB DVDs?
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "ARTICLE" @ 09:00 AM
"DVDs burners are getting better fast on two fronts. First, devices offering a 16x write speed are becoming available. Second, the first devices that can write two recording layers to DVDs are appearing in the stores. These are called double-layer burners. However, speed kills. Unfortunately, the gains afforded by a 16x write speed also mean there are risks that a successful burn has been made, which can cause data to be lost. So, as before, you should stick with a maximum 4x write speed if you are burning a DVD for archiving purposes."
Tom's Hardware has this nice article looking at several DVD burners, both fast, dual layer and double layer and tries to analyze which one is the best to go with at this time. They come up with a surprising conclusion, read the article to find out more.
