24x DVD Burners On The Horizon

DVD burner speeds are set for a boost with the release of two new optical drives which can manage speeds of 24x.

Sony and Lite-On both have plans to release machines in March and May and while many think that the DVD's entertainment days might be over, the use of the disk for storage is not happening any time soon.

Lite-On will market the models iHAS324 and iHAP424 in March and the model iHAS624 in May. Sony will release its AD-7240S drive in March.

No word on price yet.
