Add to it that you DVD Writer, despite being labeled 22x, may not be able to reach that speed in real-world-scenario by a considerable margin; unless you have tested it, that is.

Though the thread does not have much substance if Samsung has already released a 22x consumer DVD-RW.

In independant tests, the Samsung SH-S223 is probably the fastest writer out there right now. And is faster than the sony mentioned here. Check club.cdfreaks.com
