I have a iomega 12x burner and it will do for now. What I am wondering about these high speed burners is the noise. I dont have one so I dont know. But from the 32x plextor reader I have, I know it makes alot of noise while reading at high speed. So if you are burning at 32x, wouldnt it also make alot of noise for 2-3min straight? Personally I'd like to have it quiet for that extra minute or 2.
