Dvd Drive Buying Guides
By Sandeep
DVD drives are available in many different speeds with a variety of options and formats. The main factor to consider when purchasing a drive is its purpose. Usually, a drive is intended to play movies and audio CDs, as well as to read DVD-Rom and CD-Rom discs.
Features:
•DVD-ROM is a newer standard than CD-ROM, able to read 7 times as much data off of a typical disk (4.7 GB) as opposed to the measly 650MB a CD-ROM drive can read, and also able to play movies with the proper decoding software or hardware.
•With fast video cards and processors today, you typically don't need any special decoding hardware to play movies. Microsoft ships a software movie player with Windows XP that works fine.
•Consumers interested in obtaining a more advanced drive will need to consider other options, such as burners, drives that support DVD-R technology, and drives that support DVD+R technology.
•The only difference between the two formats is the way the drive determines the position of the laser on the disc. DVD-R discs are read by the drive through special grooves on the disc known as land prepits, whereas DVD+R measures a disc's wobble frequency.
•A consumer can also purchase a "dual-DVD" drive that supports both the DVD-R and DVD+R format, typically known as DVD±R.
•DVD-ROM drives can read CD-ROM disks, so if you have a DVD-ROM drive, you don't need an extra CD-ROM drive. Also, the x-factor for drives refers to a higher transfer rate: 1x DVD-ROM drives transfer data at the rate of a 9x CD-ROM drive.
•Most complete systems with DVD-ROM drives will ship with 12x or 16x DVD-ROM drives

today. DVD-ROM drives are dirt cheap today, so don't even bother with plain CD-ROM drives unless you have no choice.
•In 2002, Sony and Phillips introduced the DVD+R format. All DVD+R formats are compatible with each other. DVD+R has the same capacity as a DVD-R, and DVD+RW works exactly as a DVD-RW. This format also offers DVD+RW DL.
•The DL stands for dual layer, a technology which allows a single disc to hold up to 8.5 GB of information. The DVD-RAM offers more storage capacity, but it requires a specialized drive which is more expensive.
•The DVD-RAM format enables the disc to be re-written with the drive up to 100,000 times as opposed to only 1,000 times or so for an average DVD-RW. It can be two-sided, enabling as much as 9.74 GB on a single DVD-RAM disc. This disc is best for users with mass portable storage needs.
A "dual DVD" drive or DVD±R with DVD-RAM is very versatile, as it reads all formats of technology and is capable of writing to all forms. Typically, a user will achieve speeds of 16x write for DVD+/- , 8x write for DVD+ DL and 5x write for DVD-RAM, as well as the capacity to write regular CD-R at 48x with this type of drive. This ensures any format of disc will work when using the dual drive. Find more about DVD Drive at www.ShoppingSoLow.com
