GristyMcFisty lets
us know that according to The Register the DVD+RW Alliance has this week released the
final draft version of the specifications for 8x DVD+RW media. It is expected
that the final specifications will arrive soon and that drives supporting 8x
DVD+RW recording will ship later this year. Interestingly enough, Plextor has announced their
PX-716A which already supports 8x DVD+RW recording.


When it does, disc and drive manufacturers
will be able to offer product capable of rewriting a 4.7GB single-layer
disc twice as fast as current 4x, so-called 'High Speed' drives. That
should lead to full-disc rewrites coming in at under eight minutes.


Media supporting the 8x speed are expected to be offered by HP, Sony,
Ricoh, Philips, Yamaha and MKM.
