    Right now I am burning a dvd+r and right now it's taking 14 minutes and 41 seconds to burn more than 4 gigs of data on the dvd. Just thought you should know.

    I'm only able to burn at 2x. I've use both Ritek G04 (4x) and Sony 4x DVD-Rs, and the result is the same, 2x max.

    The dvd burner on my 6130hs is Slimtype DVDRW SDW-431S. I went ahead and took it out of the computer and it's made by Lite On. There should be serial number on the back of it.

    since the drive is removeable you could always upgrade to a faster drive.

    Does anyone have a link to the latest firmware update for this drive? According to CDRinfo, this drive is DVD+R x4, DVD+/-RW x2, DVD-R x2, CD-R x24, CD-RW x 10. It can read at DVD x8 and CD x40.

    I can burn DVD-RW at 2x but DVD-R at only 1x (sucks!)

    I need a firmware update

    There is no firmware update for SDW-431S on the Lite-On site. The only device I could find was the SDW-431SX - the external model and there's no firmware update for that either.
