Lite-On 20X DVD Writers This Year
 

It was only recently that we saw 18X DVD writers hit the market and now the optical storage industry is jumping on to faster theoretical recording speeds. These 18X drives are capable of writing to single-layer DVD recordable media at a little more than 23MBps, or about four minutes for the session data.

We need cheaper media rated for higher speeds, not higher speed writers; I still need to write at 4x in order to get good quality DVDs, at 8x and higher the risk for ending up with unreadable coasters is very high
