LG GSA-E50L   [Computer Shopper]
COMPANY: LG PRICE: £41inc VAT  
RATING: ISSUE: 240  DATE: Dec 07
   

LG's GSA-E50L has an attractive gloss black design with a ridged underside that stops it slipping and sliding around on your desk. Like its portable counterpart, the E50N, it can create password-protected discs. Filenames can still be viewed in Windows Explorer, but it will deter casual snoopers.

The GSA-E50L was the second-fastest external desktop drive in all our single-layer and double-layer DVD tests. It came close to reaching 11X in our DVD-R benchmark and was the only external burner other than Samsung's Super-WriteMaster SE-S204 to exceed 7X when writing double-layer DVDs.

It's also fast at backing up files to rewritable DVDs. It was the second-fastest burner in our DVD+RW test and the third-quickest when burning DVD-RWs. The drive came a respectable third in our CD-R test, writing discs at just under 30X speed.

The GSA-E50L is a fast, attractive external DVD writer, but Samsung's Super-WriteMaster SE-S204 desktop writer is even faster.

20X DVD-R, 20X DVD+R, 6X DVD-RW, 8X DVD+RW, 10X DVD-R DL, 10X DVD+R DL, 12X DVD-RAM, 48X CD-R, 32X CD-RW
