Gigabyte GO-W0808A DVD Burner Review

Abstract: The Gigabyte GO-W0808A supports 8x DVD+/-R and 4x DVD+/-RW writing methods, as well as burning of CD-R's at 40x, and CD-RW's at 24x

The GO-W0808A is a rather plain looking optical drive, but personally, I like the design since it is nice and clean. I'm happy to see that the front bezel is a light beige; the last thing I want is to buy a drive that looks like it's ten years old already. ;-)

The Gigabyte GO-W0808A measures about 17cm deep, so it's on the compact side of CDROMs which could be good news for some SFF owners. At the rear of the drive we find an unknown six pin connector, the two pin digital audio port, four pin analog audio port, Master/Slave/Cable Select jumper headers, IDE drive connector and molex power connector.

The Gigabyte GO-W0808A drive supports TAO (Track at Once), DAO (Disc at Once), SAO (Session at Once), Multisession, Variable Packet Writing, Fixed packet writing and Multi-Track Reservation writing methods
