    Like the DRW-1814BLT before it, the DRW-2014L1T has had its share of growing pains. Early reviews indicated that it suffered from many of the same performance issues as its predecessor.

ASUS introduced this drive as an internal DVD rewriter with LightScribe direct disc labeling technology. Along with providing 20x DVD±R writing and 8x DVD±R (DL) and 14x DVD-RAM reading capabilities, it also has data transfer rates that are 5 times that of the current DMA33 standards with the SATA interface.

Even with the performance numbers we saw across all media types, the CPU usage numbers were nothing short of spectacular at less than half of what the BenQ drive... Read more
