Conclusion

Gigabyte GO-W0808A has proven to be a reliable drive that I work with daily backing up my web data and for backing up my favourite DVD movies. I have been using it for the past 1 month and noticed that it is a very quiet drive that fits well into a Small Form Factor box because of the small dimension.

I highly recommend this drive to those who is thinking of purchasing a DVD burner. It is well worth your penny and it retails at about SGD 149. For all this, we give it our Editor's Choice award.
