LG Super Multi DVD Writer GSA-4040B Review

[Ian]

Confused with all the different DVD writing format? What if you have DVD-R, DVD+R and even DVD-RAM all together in one drive? A dream you may say? Not any more. Despite all odds, LG has came out with a SUPER drive that combines all DVD and CD format. Now you can read and write all your DVD and CD without worrying all the different formats. Wanna know how it performs?

The more involved readers may wonder, what happened to the DVD-RAM format? Well, it has not been very popular, if not totally forgotten, in the PC market, despite its random read/write and 100,000 times re-write abilities which are unrivaled by other DVD formats. Two main drawbacks for the DVD-RAM format are, however, its poor compatibility and expensive media. It is estimated that DVD-R and DVD+R are more or less equally compatible, working with more than 90% of the available DVD players/drives worldwide; while only 30% of the install base reads DVD-RAM correctly.
