- 80min CD-R Tests

In our normal burning tests the 80min CD contains slightly more than 80min data (80:01:47):

With 80min CDs, the CyberDrive CW058D holds the first place with 324secs. The drive doesn't write exactly at 16.00X but at 16.33X, which gives an advantage over the competition, producing lower recording times. The AOpen CRW3248 comes second with 334secs, the Philips PCRW3210 third, the Mitsumi CR-480ATE forth and LiteOn LTR-32123S last with 339secs.

Mitsumi CR-480ATE doesn't support 20x writing speed option

At the 20x writing speed, the Philips PCRW3210 takes the second place with 278secs. The LiteOn LTR-32123S comes second with 280secs, The CyberDrive CW058D third with 281secs and AOpen CRW3248 last with 300secs.

Philips PCRW3210 doesn't support 20x writing speed option

At the 24x writing speed, the CyberDrive CW058D holds the fist place with 239secs. The drive is even faster than Yamaha's 3200E (24x P-CAV) drive and of course faster than the competition. The LiteOn LTR-32123S comes second with 251secs, the Mitsumi CR-480ATE third with 255secs and AOpen CRW3248 last with 265secs.

At the 28x writing speed, the CyberDrive CW058D continues to hold the first place with 229secs. The AOpen drive is slower by 26secs!

With 80min CDs, the time differences between CyberDrive CW058D and the Philips PCRW3210 are decreased. The CyberDrive needs almost 218secs (average) to end the task, while Philips PCRW3210 needs 222secs. The LiteOn LTR-32123S follows with 227secs, Mitsumi CR-480ATE needs 231secs and AOpen comes last with 235secs.
