Top 10 DVD Drives

Our new first-place Best Buy is Sony's updated--and faster--dual-format drive.

Complete Coverage

This month we tested the first burner that writes to DVD+RW media at 4X speeds, and the results are fairly impressive. In our lab tests, Sony's new DRU-510A--the latest incarnation of our previous Best Buy, the DRU-500A--shaved about 25 percent off the time required to format a DVD+RW disc and write 1.1GB of data. The previous model took nearly 12 minutes; the 510A took less than 9 minutes.

Also new are the TDK Indi DVD 420N and the Teac DV-W50E, both modestly priced. All but one drive on the chart--the tenth-place Memorex--support 4X write-once DVD.
