Sony launches 16x DVD DL burners
Fancy writing a DVD in 6 minutes? Well, you certainly can, with a seventh generation DVD writer from Sony.
These new drives write at 16x, which many minds believe will be the physical recording limit of DVDs. This is because such a recording speed means that the disc spins at about 10,000 rpm, which is probably the highest speed the polycarbonate material of a DVD can handle. Sony's new drives are available as internal (DRU-710A) and external (DRX-710UL). Both support a range of write speeds up to 16x and Double Layer burning at 2.4x. |

Well, it is possible to write faster than 16x, instead of spinning the motor faster you put in another optical head in the drive...
There already exists a CD-ROM reader at the impossible speed of 72x (the max for cd-roms is 52x just as P66 said due to the fact that if you spin the CD's faster they can explode)

actually, thats a myth, somewhere around 30k rpms is where CDs start coming apart and that is if they have a defect. I tested this myself after seeing the infamous video clip that was circulating on the topic, also saw a very extensive test done by those Mythbuster guys on Discovery channel, they took several discs over 30k rpms and only the ones they had damaged prior to the tests shattered.

I was never a fan of Sony ROM drives and this won't change my mind. They had crappy burners before and I don't know if they inproved them at all.

Yep...
I am not a big fan of their drives either, eventhough I have one of their 52Xs on my server (only cause I got it free through some OfficeDepot Advantage credits).
I will definetely wait for Lite-On's release on this one, which I'm sure is only a matter of time... |

Sony is producing recording equipment to allow us to pirate their movies, quicker.
