I don't think those CD-R writing speeds are correct. It's kinda odd that the drive would write to CD-RW faster than CD-R.

Some pics..

very nice looking drive.
yeah, 8x CD-R is kind of crazy..
but 12x DVD+/-R and 5x DVD-RAM is not impressing either.

Yeah, but its better than what other BR drives can do. I give it another 6 months and the performance of BR drives will be on par with normal DVD writers.
