...The LG GSA H22N Super-Multi is one of the first drives to up the maximum speed to 18X for DVD writing. Whilst not a huge increase on the 16X drives, it's a welcome boost.
The various speeds and media types supported are:
Read speed: 48x (CD) / 16x (DVD)
Write speed: 48x (CD)
18x (DVD±R)
8x (DVD±R DL)
Rewrite speed: 32x (CD)
6x (DVD-RW)
8x (DVD+RW)
12x (DVD-RAM)
Far more of interest is the support for DVD-RAM which many consider a superior format for data archival due to its built in error correction. Until recently DVD-RAM trailed badly in speed terms but this drive provides an astonishing 12X writing for DVD-RAM. If you are creeating DVD's for long term backup or archival then DVD-RAM...

Advantages: Gigantic storage capacity, long shelf life for stored disks Disadvantages: Not cheap, bit slow sometimes.
...DVD-RAM may well be the way of the future. I have been using one of Panasonics offerings in this area for a while now and although you may not want to rush out and buy one right now, affordability is just around the corner.
A lot of you may not know what DVD-RAM is so I have included a quick run down on it before I discuss the particular drive I have been using.
Most of you who read this probably know about cd-r and cd-rw, one is the technology that lets you write to a blank cd once the other is the technology that lets you repeatedly write and erase data on a cd. The thing is although 650mb (the amount of space on a typical blank cd) seemed a vast amount of storage a few years a go, today it is starting to look a bit cramped. Oh dear. Never fear here comes DVD charging in to our rescue wearing shinning armour and ridding his...

...The Panasonic LF-D201 is a SCSI DVD-RAMdrive. Mmmm, I hear you say, what a bunch of lovely acronyms, if only I knew what they meant I might actually bother to read this article. Never fear all will be explained.
SCSI is the way in which it connects to your computer, for the pros and cons of this method, e.g. compared to USB, see my opinion on Adaptec’s AVA-2904 SCSI controller card and to a lesser extent my opinion on the Plextor 12/10/32S SCSI cd writer.
DVD-RAM is probably going to be the replacement for cd writers. It has an enormous capacity per DVD disk (up to 9.4 GB) and prices are starting to make it accessible to the likes of you and I. I have also discussed DVD-RAM and its pros and cons more extensively in my opinion on the older Panasonic LF-D103.
Having covered the basics in earlier opinions, I can now...
