BenQ Unveils Two 18x DVD±RW Drives With 12x DVD-RAM Support
10:28 AM CST Posted By: Ian
BenQ has officially unveiled their new 18x DVD±RW drives, the DW1800 and DW1805. According to BenQ's website, the two drives offer 18x DVD±R, 8x DVD±R DL and 12x DVD-RAM writing speeds as well as features like SolidBurn and QSuite. The DW1805 ups the ante even further, offering support for LightScribe technology.

We have not heard when these drives will ship or if they will be available in the US. Considering BenQ has already pulled out of the European market, I wouldn't hold my breath. If you'd like to talk about BenQ's new drives, feel free to join the discussion in our forum.

Update: For some reason BenQ "has removed" both drives from their website.
