Lite-On launches 20x DVD burner

Lite-On has officially launched 20x DVD burners as per their earlier plans. The two new drives are the LH-20A1P and the LH-20A1H the only difference being that the LH-20A1H has got Lightscribe support. These drives currently are the fastest DVD burner that money can buy whereas competition currently offers only 18x burning support.

Specifications of LH-20A1P and LH-20A1H

DVD+R/-R: 20x
DVD+RW/-RW: 8x / 6x
DVD+RDL/-RDL: 8x
DVD-RAM: 12x
Reading DVD: 16x
CD Reading: 48x
CD-R: 48x
CD-RW: 32x

My View:
The 20x drives from Lite-On is a blazing fast burner, but sadly it does not have 20x DVD reading capability.
I feel instead of releasing these products which are based on the older generation DVD technology the manufacturers could focus their efforts on making the next generation DVD technologies like Blu-ray and HD-DVD burners more affordable.

I still burn my most important data at 8x, its optimal for getting the data burned for the longest life, I dont mind waiting a few mins extra.

I hate taking the chance of 16x burning even with quality media, let alone 20x!

If you are burning your data in a good quality media it should not be a problem. I do quality tests and then decide which speed to use.
