Not bad, but it can´t challenge the Benq 1640/165x-series.
It underspeeds many 16x +R and only wirte 8x, it has problems to burn good quality at 16x -R.
Quote: "However, in the area of DVD-R the Sony DRU-820A is not yet optimized to burn 16x media with high quality result. We can see on Transfer Rate test on some 16x burns it will produce read-back problems at the end of the discs and also on the data side (burnt side) shows dark rings which means write strategies were not optimized for the media. Sony needs to investigate on these issues."
