  • A DVD burner for all

    LG Electronics is now shipping the GSA-4040B Multi-Format DVD burner which writes to DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD-RAM, CD-R, and CD-RW.

    CNET is the world's leader in tech product reviews, news, prices, videos, forums, how-tos and more.




    I'm sure some of you could put such a unit to great use. I've got a new need for DVD-RAMs now that I have the Panny DMR-E80H and I'm thinking a burner in my PC would be nice for data backups vs. CD-RWs. I also hope to someday get more ambitious with my E80H videos and enter the world of PC based authoring and this drive would allow me to import/export between the two.

    hmm... sounds interesting... DVD-RAM support!

    anybody thinks LG 4040B is better than Pioneer A06?

      I'm leaning toward the 4040B, but both are a little new, I'm waiting for some reviews.

        Does the tray support cartridge or just non-cartridge? I'd only go for a burner that supported types I, II, III (non cartridge) and IV.

          The information that I found on this drive a month or so ago said that it didn't take cartridged DVD-RAM disks. I went for the Panasonic Drive instead and just ignored +R/RW compatibility as my home dvd player (ageing and creaking Sony one) will play -R media.
