| Review summary | HP's innovative DVD Movie Writer dc3000 offers an easy route from VHS to DVD, and it's a decent burner to boot. | If you're shopping for a DVD-recordable drive, put the fast, flexible DRU-500A at the top of your list. | Though the compatibility of DVD+Rs with other hardware is still unproven, the DVD200i is a fast all-in-one optical drive and excellent for both backing up your system and for mastering DVDs. | One of the fastest DVD-rewritable drives on the market, Plextor's groundbreaking PX-708A delivers an all-around top-notch performance. | TDK's Indi DVD 840G uses the same underlying hardware as the excellent Plextor PX-708A, with similarly solid performance and features. |
