Sony Electronics has introduced its tenth generation of DVD burners. The internal DRU-810A and external DRX-810UL models support 8X DVD+R Double Layer (DL) recording speed, and can burn up to 8.5GB of video, data, music or images on compatible media in about fifteen minutes. The 810 series of DVD burners also features 4X DVD-R DL, 16X DVD±R, 8X DVD+RW, 6X DVD-RW, 48X CD-R and 32X CD-RW recording.

The drives come bundled with a feature-rich software package suite from Nero for burning, authoring and editing home movies, creating digital scrapbooks, and backing up critical data. The internal DRU-810A will be available next month for about $100, while the external DRX-810UL is expected to ship in October for around $150.
