TDK 440N Indi DVD writer review @ Designtechnica "The TDK 440N Indi DVD writer is a great investment for those that plan on creating media content or backing up their computer. The instruction manual and installation video shows TDK’s dedication to the consumer while the new look of the front faceplate gives the drive a look of quality. Read and write performance on the TDK 440N was above average in our tests and the included Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator 6 worked beautifully without a hitch. TDK once again gives us a quality product at a reasonable price in the TDK 440N Indi DVD writer. Make sure to buy DVD+RW media and an audio cable if this will be your only drive as neither is included in the 440N package."Read more at Designtechnica.

Kiss Technology DP-500 Networkable DVD Player @ Techseekers "The new firmware (2.6.6) adds 3.11 support and was worth the wait. I found it quite good and allowed me to play a good few titles on my Home Theatre PC that were in DivX 3.11 format. The addition of a network port as well as the simple server PC-Link application really signifies that this is the excellent choice for those who have a lot of DivX files." Read more at Techseekers.
