"Optical storage has come a long way in the past few years. CD Burners were all the rage, and burn speeds went through the roof. But we soon realized that 700MB was not nearly enough room for all the data we had. Enter the DVD. DVD Burners, like their CD ancestors started out expensive and slow. But today we have faster burners for much lower prices. Today I am going to take a look at one of these new DVD burners, the ASUS DRW-1608P2. I'd like to give a big thanks to Directron.com / AxionTech.com for sponsoring this review and sending the drive."
