Well i would say thats good news, but the fact of the matter is that cd-rw's have just about reached the pinnacle of evolution.
52x 54x 56x really dont burn quicker than 48x at all, but do produce alot more noise and vibration.
Added to that, Cheap available 12x+ CD-RW discs are virtually impossible to find... or only come in singles, or are only 650mb etc.

Definately not upgrading from my 48x24x48x.

It's time to get DVD burners down in price.

That and high speed combo drives.

That expensive?!

They should get them down to the price of a floppy drive.

only ever seen up to 10x CDRW 700min at fairly unreasonable prices but there are a LOT of 650mb 4x ones about... annoying or what... what I wanna know, has anybody ever, ever seen a 24x CDRW disc ???
(I have never...)

Trust me I know what I'm doing... ooops, grab the cat... (Click me name to see me spec)

Totally agree.

Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.

Vertbatim made some Ultra High speed 24x RWs. Some of it were quite unreliable.

I've seen 12x CD-RW medias' so far, pretty sure that they'll do 16x (my CD-RW doesn't support more than 16x, so can't test). They aren't that expensive comparared to 4x, the price difference is fair.

I'm yet to see a CD-RW media more than 12x

[lhgpoobaa]

yes actually.
Verbatim, 16x and 24x certified, 650mb, 5-6 australian dollars PER DISC. (~$3 US).
For that kind of money i can buy quite a few CD-R's of greater capacity.

Its definitely time for a cheap DVD RW drive, with my adsl modem I can fill about 3 cds a day! any guesses as to whether DVD+RW or DVD-RW will win out? I'm thinking of buying one soon and can't decide which to go for!
