HI all,
I saw an earlier post by someone who was asking for the best Dual Layer burner. I know not everyone gets the MacWorld Magazine, but it was on page 28 in the April 2005 edition. Here is basically what it says.

It rates 7 drives, gives 4 - 4mice, 2 - 3.5 mice, and 1 - 3 mice. So basically, it is hard to go completely wrong, but you need to decide what you want.

MacWorld's Editor's Choice is LaCie d2 DVD+/-RW 16x FireWire with Dual Layer, it is reasonably priced at $189 and had by 1 sec. the fastest 8GB Dual-Layer DVD Burn. Here is the 7 in comparing, but based on size limit, you should still try to look at the April 2005 MacWorld magazine.

Company Product Price 8GB Dual-Layer DVD Burn
EZQuest Boa 16x $160 27:02
DVD+/- RW
Double Layer
FireWire

Iomega Super DVD $190 43:45
Writer 16x

Kanguru Quicksilver $160 26:52
16x QS-FW
DVDRW
FireWire

LaCie d2 DVD+/-RW $189 26:51
16x FireWire
w/ Double
Layer

OWC Mercury $160 27:04
FireWire/USB2
D108 DVD+/-RW

Plextor PX-716UF $239 27:08

Sony DRX-710UL/T $230 43:55

Things that are above, is Plextor had the fastest copy of 655MB to the HD, by a large portion. Also Sony's have the fastest 4.7GB DVD+R Burn, but less then a minute over LaCie and Plextor. Also as noted in the MacWorld each of these tests were done with a dual 2.5GHz Power Mac G5 running OSX 10.3.7 with 512MB RAM.

I hope this helps people, but the magazine goes thru it a lot more and gives PROS and CONS.

Thanks,
Steven Stuart
