Sony Electronics has announced two new DVD-R drives that support 4x DVD-R Dual Layer (DL) recording.
The internal DRU-800A and external DRX-800UL models can burn up to 8.5 GB of data onto a single DVD-R DL disc. The burners also support 4X DVD+R DL, 16X DVD+-R, 8X DVD+RW, 6X DVD-RW, 48X CD-R and 24X CD-RW recording. The drives come bundled with Nero software for burning and authoring home movies, creating digital scrapbooks, and backing up crucial data.
The internal model (DRU-800A) is currently shipping for about $130, while the external model (DRX-800UL) is expected to ship in late May for around $210.
