Speedomania: 48x/16x/48x-Burner from LG

48x-Burners - Evolution Or Revolution?

The product life cycles of CD-R/RW drives are getting shorter all the time. The first 40x drives reached the market early this year. Around the middle of the year, the manufacturers introduced their 48x CD-R/RW models, and the first ultra-fast 52x drives are appearing right now.

Users can't help asking whether continually upgrading their drives to a faster model is really worth it. To answer this question, Tom's Hardware has decided to compare the current 48x GCE-8480B speed king with the previous 40x version (GCE-8400B).

The retail package includes virtually everything - except the media.
