Reviews of the Memorex 16X16X DL IDE DVD drive
-
CNET Review
The Good: Decent recording and rewriting speeds; generous Nero bundle; affordable.
The Bad: No dual-layer DVD-R support; slow DVD-reading speed; bundled software can rip audio CDs to MP3 files only 30 times without upgrade.
The Bottom Line: This drive turned in decent recording and rewriting times and comes with a superior software bundle, but its DVD ripping performance is surprisingly dismal.
