Uit onderstaande trek ik de conclusie dat, ondanks dat tie nog in de pricewatch staat, de DRU-500A niet meer geleverd gaat worden, maar dat dat de 500AX wordt (met 4* schrijven voor zowel -R alsook +R). Nu nog de 500A kopen uit restpartijen (als die er nog zijn) is dus niet handig.

Sony Announces Next Generation Dual RW Drives
8:02 PM CST Posted By: Ian
If you haven't been able to find a DRU-500A at your local computer store, relief is on the way. Sony will start shipping their next generation "Dual RW" drives next month.
The internal DRU-500AX and the external DRX-500ULX drives are capable of recording to both 4X compatible DVD+R and DVD-R discs at up to 4X speeds, offer enhanced software for mastering and drag-and-drop file management, and playback DVD recordable media faster than before.
Like their first-generation predecessors, the new Dual RW drives encompass four DVD recording formats for recording functionality and playback compatibility. By supporting all the popular DVD recordable/rewritable formats, the Dual RW drives allow computer users to transfer home movies from tape to DVD discs, customize and edit them for a personal touch, and then play them back in nearly all consumer DVD players and DVD-ROM drives without worrying about format variations.
Sonys DRU-500AX and DRX-500ULX models are also the industrys first to support both up to 4X DVD+R and DVD-R recording when using 4X speed media, making them among the fastest on the market. Users can now create write-once discs in approximately half the time of drives writing at 2X speeds.
The question now is whether or not the DRU-500AX is just a DRU-500A with the new firmware or something else. If we can find out more info, I'll let you know. Until then, more information can be found here (http://www.storagebysony.com/news/pressengine.asp?id=50).
