Wait a short while, there should be reviews on both the LG 4081 and the Nec 2500 which are both 8X -R drives if you really need that function.

The 4081 only does DVD-R at 4x, and DVD-RW at 2x. Are you thinking of the upcoming LG 8080B?

The NEC ND-2500 is finally out:

If you want a drive that is proven to be fast and of high build quality, and has high write quality, go with the TDK (708)
