Benq 1640 DVDRW Review


Just this week I was looking for a review of this drive- and now it appears. I think many will consider this the current price/performance leader for a while. It's a great reader, as well as writer. And 8x on dual layer plus media is a new class leading benchmark!
Quality and speed, nothing more, nothing less. The new BenQ DW1640 raises the burning speed to even higher levels than before. Not only can it burn both -R and +R single layered discs at 16x, but it supports 8x +R DL writing speed and 6x -R DL writing speed. If you need more, +RW and -RW writing speeds will also not disappoint you.



When we investigated CD and DVD error correction capabilities, we were amazed by its performance.Very good error correction mechanism, even at high speed reading. The burner dominates over most competitors when it comes to ripping speed, reporting higher speeds than DVD-ROM readers. In this great speed performance, the DAE ripping speed comes to complete the profile, making the drive one of the fastest readers available, even with defective and problem media.
