FreeCom DVD+/-RW 16x Double Layer Today we are taking a look at Freecom’s offering into the DVD Dual layer DVD-/+RW writer market.

looking at the front bezel you can see the layout is quite simple and is exactly how it should be, although you can see the panel cut on the bezel which shows that the casing is used on all there drives (although I should point out that I didn’t notice it during the 30 days I had this in my machine). 
Moving round to the rear we find the unit has the expected connections which include spdif, audio, IDE and of coarse power as well as the jumper selection. next page specs
