The CDRInfo.com crew wishes you Merry Xmas And a Happy New Year! We present you today another 2 huge roundups with the latest and fastest ever CD-RW and DVD-ROM drives...

32x CD-RW Roundup  Volume 1

After our first preview of the 32x writing proposal of Mitsumi's  CR-480ATE, LiteOn and Freecom ship their first retail 32x recorders. Both drives have the same writing speed (32x) but follow different implementations. We compare side to side the three 32x recorders among with the faster 24x recorder (Yamaha 3200E). How faster 32x recorders really are, compared to the 24x models? What about the recording quality at the highest recording speed ever available?

DVD-ROM Roundup Volume 2

We test two new 16x DVD-ROMs from BTC 316B and Pioneer DVD-106S/2.We compare both drives with the already tested LiteOn LTD-163 and AOpen 1648 DVD-ROMs in another huge roundup!
