Lite-On to Release a 20x DVD Burner

While competitors such as Plextor have already started to manufacture 18x DVD burner, Lite-On announced future availability of a 20x DVD burner. Such burner might have pushed the physical limits to the end for both the drive and the media. This model in addition to burn DVD at 20x, will burn DVD-RAM at 12x, DL DVD at 8x and CD at 48x.
According to Lite-On, you will only need 5 minutes to fill a DVD media up at 20x speed, a maximal speed only reached at the end of the burning process (marketing…).
The most interesting feature of this burner might be its ability to burn DVD-RAM at 12x, since they have been used for years as backup system, and now with the "Packet Writing" technology one can use them as 4.7GB removable HD unit.
