Well, that would explain the sudden drop in the price of 18x drives. Sure makes me feel a bit foolish for buying a 16x a month ago.

Ah hell Yuri, that extra 4x speed isn't really going to make that much of a difference!!!!

I just bought a 16x about a month and a half ago with LightScribe for?????I think it was $34.00 with free shipping from NewEgg.

Can't hardly beat that. It is getting hard to find any 16x drives here in the last couple of weeks for a good price though.

Hell I still burn my DVDs at 4X. You get less errors.

I've burned several DVD's at 16x or 8x or whatever without any problems. The thing with these fast burners is that there is no media capable of those speeds. 18x media is hard to find, let alone 20x!

Yep, around here I have seen one place that carried 18x!! Whats the use, hell within a couple of months we will have 24x DVD burners, but will not be able to find media

I just found a spindle of 4X media I stuck away at some point. I'll use that before I buy more so 20X don't mean all that much.

I burn a lot of DVD's and some cd's.
CD freaks would be a good resource for you to check out.
The rule of thumb for good consistent burns is burn at half the recommended speed of the type of Media your burning.
Can you burn it at 16X sure should you

Right now right now I have two 100 cake pack of MMC's (rebranded) Verbatim's.
There X8 DVD-R's I burn at 4X.

Always burn at 8x, max speed the drive will support. Used 8x discs, now 16x DVD+R discs from Maxell, never had problems. By never, I mean no errors or coasters EVER! during the past 2.5 years.
