Liteon To Ship 20X Capable DVD Writers

08 Aug, 2006, 6:19 pm IST | by Jayesh Mansukhani | Optical drives

Lite-On Corporation the leading DVD-RW manufacturer will be launching 20X DVD writers in Q4 of this year. These new drives are expected to write faster than 26MBps and will get DVD burn times down to three minutes for an entire disc. The new drives will also be capable of writing to dual-layer media and across DVD+R, DVD-R and DVD-RAM as well. While the premise sounds good I wonder if it serves any purpose really considering that first generation Blu-disc and HD-DVD drives have already shipped along with media.
