I have 2 16x, dual layer, DVD burners. A Sony and a LiteOn. I couldn't find the boxes, and I'm not going to pull them out to look :). The Sony seems to want to burn CDs at 42x and the LiteOn, day in and day out, burns at 48x. The LiteOn is on a 2800+ XP AMD. I have 16x media for the DVD burner but have only used 8x so far on the Sony. It is on a 1600+ XP. That translates into 11MB/sec. When I backed up ~4GB of digital photos from my Canon Digital Rebel, I needed around 10 minutes. It was much faster than I expected and I didn't time the operation. This is also only under Windows XP. The systems boot 6-stable and XP-Pro but the files I need to burn only exist on XP. I don't expect a problem from either on the FreeBSD side. I just happen to like Nero and the choices on FreeBSD are quite different. I make the system fit the project and not force the project onto a system.
