Waitec X-FILE DVD+RW- Page 6

HS-RW Writing Tests

We used Nero 5.5.8.0 for writing CDs in maximum RW writing speed for all the tested drives in 10x HS-RW media. Waitec X-FILE support the HS-RW writing standard:

Waitec had the same burning time performance with the rest of the drives in the test. The erase time of the drive is low and just one second slower than Philips DVDRW1208.

Packet Writing Tests

We used Ahead InCD v3.28. We used Verbatim's Ricoh HS RW media and we formatted it. The formatting of the media takes around 10min. After formatting, we tested all four drives for their packet writing performance. The formatted disc had 530mbs of free space. We copied a 403 MB file (403.147 kbs) from a Hard Disk (on the same PC as the writers) to the formatted RW media-using explorer (we dragged and dropped) we completed the test twice to eliminate possible time measurement faults and user errors:

Waitec X-FILE performed well under the packet writing mode. However, the writing/reading performance was slightly slower than the competition.
