The Benq Dwq1600 ia a robust DVD rewriter, which comes complete with software and plenty of built in technology disigned to ensure correct playing of unlevel DVDS and CDS.
The software you get free is WinDVD Creator 2.8B, Win DVD4.0B, Record now! 7.1, Sonic DLA 4.9.

I did find there to be a few problems with this drive, For a start it is only compatible with DVD+RW and DVD+R standards, there is no headphone outlet or volume control.

** The Overall Design **

The DW1600 has a standard specification, with a fairly fast speed on both single layer and dual-layer discs.
Shiws good rewriteable media and is pipped to the post by the feature-filled LiteOn an fast MSI

** Speed **
+16X4X16
-N/A
9=(RXRWXread

** Access Time**
120ms


** Dual Layer **
Yes 2.4X

The controls and indicators are very simple this is due to not having a volume control and a headphone jack. There is a however a LED light as this shows you when the drive is actively writing to disc.

This drive would normally cost round about £50 and is available from the Benq website.

A little more detail would be good here, but not a clue what - I'm useless when it comes to computers! Lucie xxx
