Retail ones come with black and silver changeable bezels too, at least my 18x did. Bulk lists it's color and has no extra bezels.

I know right caboose. I wonder why its taking them so long with DVDs to get a high burn rate like for CDs.

Im almost scared to wonder how much time itll take for Blu ray to make it to the x speeds that DVD is at right now.

Furthermore when are the DVD manufacturers going to produce DVDs tha we can actually use beyond 16x? because thats all I still see around nowadays.

"users can write at 22x speeds on 16x media"

Media speed apparently doesn't matter on this drive.

The X multiplier is different for CDs and DVDs. DVDs are way faster than CDs in MB/sec.
1x BD = 3.4x DVD = 30x CD

Here's a thread explaining it.

If all you can manage to do is burn coasters, then either your PC is most likely highly unstable and has corrupted files scattered everywhere or your CD/DVD burner is kaput and needs replacement.

I get that but is it so hard to get the DVDs to be up to 52x like CD's?

Of course!!!

You didnt know that?

Just like with Blu ray and HD DVD having a higher bandwidth than DVD just a slower burn rate i.e. 2x
