Sony Announce New DVD Writers - DRU500AX / DRX-500ULX Posted Saturday, 25 January, 2003 by kila_m
"Professionals or creative consumers searching for a fast and easy-to-use DVD drive that enhances productivity and extends their entertainment options should look no further than the DRU-500AX and DRX-500ULX. These latest additions to Sony’s award-winning range of Dual RW drives for PCs are the only devices on the market that support most of the existing DVD standards. What’s more, they deliver some of the fastest recording times available, going up to 4x speed. With the help of the supplied software, the internal 500AX (ATAPI interface) and external 500ULX (i.LINK and USB 2.0 interfaces) allow users to record high quality digital music, movies and data and to playback the files across virtually all DVD players and DVD-ROM drives.It looks like they're about to release a revised model with the 'X' on the end of the name.
I guess this means that people should hold off for the newer model - myself included.The problem with that mentality is that there's always a newer model down the road, so you'll never buy anything because you're going to hold off for the newer model.
From what I've read about the new Sony 500AX, it's the same drive as the 500A in a new box.Except for an upgraded firmware and x4 capability.
