    PikaOne 8X DVD +/- RW Drive - Speed Issues

    I was wondering if anyone could suggest a possible explanation as to why my DVD writer is only burning at a 2X when it is an 8X drive?

    I have installed the drivers that came with it and updated the Firmware drivers but I am still unsure as to why this is happening. Does anyone have a possible solition?

    Thanks,
    James

    Yes, dvd writers are very picky about the media. Nero info tool will help you out on this.
