LG comes with new 22x burner

A few days ago LG announced that their latest super-multi DVD burner will be released later this summer. According to LG's press release this drive can record a full DVD in just 4:30 minutes, using the 22x recording speed. Ofcourse LG needed a name for this super-multi DVD burner... With the speed being the unique selling point of every product these day, LG named the burner the GH22.

LG's GH22 comes with a 2MB memory buffer coupled with a buffer underun technology for reliable burning. The specifications include 22x writing for DVD-R/+R, 16x for DVD+RW DL, 12x for DVD-R DL and 12x for DVD-RAM. The GH22's Lightscribe feature allows it to print images on the surface of discs, and the SecurDisc feature enables secure data protection and content access control when writing data on CD or DVD formats.

With all the features on the table we always end an article with the product's price and release date. The price for LG's 22x burner will be thirty bucks and it is planned for release in the summer to compete with Samsung's SH-S223 burner.

Who will win?

Huh, 16x for DVD+RW DL ?
Where are the discs?
Miss type speaking on the SH-223 should be SH-203.
Who cares ??? Only clueless morons burn DVDs at 10x or faster. The burn quality goes to hell at the higher speeds.
Not really I get better burns @20x than 12x on my LG H55l and my Samsung 203N.
Incrementalism is the enemy of innovation.
@Bitrate,

Sounds like you need to upgrade your equipment. There are a number of burners that produce outstanding results at speeds of 16-20x. Sounds like you might be a clueless moron when it comes to knowing this! :g
Looks like the interface will be IDE. The LG site has the word "EIDE" buried in there.

So what is 22x gonna do for us instead of 20x? Burn 8 seconds faster than 20x? With a mountain of PIF and PIE at the last 0.2 GB? The firmware probably only supports 22x for one type of MID too. Still, I'll probably buy one some day out of boredom. :p

"16x for DVD+RW DL"?? You probably mean "16x for DVD+R DL". :c

PS. I want a burner with support for DVD+RW DL and DVD-RW DL. I also want those discs.
