Wow. 16x dual-layer burning is pretty damn fast, no matter how you slice it. I can't even imagine how much the media costs that would be rated to burn at that speed... Interesting that it's SATA....

"The Super-WriteMaster SH-S203N internal DVD burner is a 20x SATA DVD burner that Samsung said is capable of 16x dual-layer DVD recording. The industry standard is 10x to 12x, according to the company."
