Lite-On announces the SOHW-832S DVD+R DL burner

There have been a lot of rumors about Lite-On's first DL DVD burner lately and now Lite-On has finally updated its website with the official specifications of this drive, the SOHW-832S. While the double layer writing capability of course is new the rest of the specifications seem to be the same as of the previous model (SOHW-812S):

Lite-On SOHW - 832S Write speed DVD+R DL 2.4x (CLV) DVD+R/RW 8x (Z-CLV) / 4x (CLV) DVD-R/RW 8x (Z-CLV) / 4x (CLV) CD-R/RW 40x (P-CAV) / 24x (Z-CLV) Read speed CD/DVD-ROM 40x (CAV) / 12x (CAV) Access time CD/DVD-ROM 160 ms / 160 ms Buffer size 2 MB

 

The SOHW-832S is already listed at some European webshops and the price seems to be about €150. It looks to be pre-orders only though so it will probably take some weeks before you actually will be able to get your hands on one. More information is available at Lite-On's website here.
