Optiarc release their 24X DVD burner

Optiarc has announced the release of the AD-7240S, their first burner of DVDs at 24X.

To reach this maximum speed on each type of media, the device uses its reading laser during the burning in order to check the upstream state of the media.
At the time of the release of the first DVD burners, it was considered that the maximum speed of burning would be 16x. There has been a 50% gain since that time.
