DesignTechnica Reviews the MSI DR16-B DVD Burner
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 07:41 AM
"The MSI DR16-B is a definite improvement in MSI’s DVD writer line and has a lot of promise, but the company still has a lot they need to work on. While the DR16-B proved to be fast at writing CD, DVD+R, and DVD+R DL media, it struggles when it comes to DVD-R media. We experienced random burn errors and slower-than-anticipated write times with DVD-R media. MSI also did not send us any writeable media for us to use, so we really have no idea which brand of media the DR16-B works best with."
DVD burner prices seem to have stabilized now, with most coming in at between $60 and $99 USD - two years ago they were $400+ USD! Yet as this review points out, not all are created equal. MSI isn't a brand I've ever had confidence in though, so I can't say I'm surprised...
