Khypermedia KDRWDUA 8x dual format DVD burner feedback, anyone?

[Blues X]

I received a 50$ gift certificate for Amazon.com yesterday. I saw that they have the Khypermedia KDRWDUA dual format DVD burner on sale (through TigerDirect) for $59.

I've searched but cannot find any reviews of this burner (either positive or negative).

Does anyone have experience with it, or know anything about its quality? I think it would be fine, but I always like to check b/f making tech purchases.


Thanks for any info.

Here's a link to the product page at TigerDirect.

I did read that one of the earlier Khypermedia 8x DVD-R models was rebadged from another manufacturer. But I haven't found anything similar regarding this model.

It's either a Cyberdyne or a Benq 800A, the Benq 800A is really nice. A member on here burned 1523 DVD+R's at 8x in 6 months with his 800A.

Here's the BenQ review: http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Articles/Specific.asp?ArticleHeadline=BenQ+DRW800A+8x+DVD%2BRW&Series=0

Thanks for the info Nightcrawler. I thought it was one of those two brands, but wasn't sure.

I just ordered one of these last night from Tigerdirect.com. I've been searching for reviews on it all morning and other than those posted here i found one at BigBruin.com (link at bottom). The said they liked it a lot and gave it 4.5 out or 5 stars. This one was rebadged but was actually a DX082D. For 50 bucks plus shipping and a 25 pack of dvds (75 total) im thinking this will be a lot of fun.
