- 80min CD-R Tests

In our normal burning tests the 80min CD contains slightly more than 80min data (80:01:47). With 80min CDs, ASUS and TDK drives had the same performance and finished the task after 334/336 seconds:

The faster recorder at the 20x writing speed comes again from LiteOn. The LTR-40125S needs only 250secs, while the PleXWriter drive comes second with 259secs.

LiteOn LTR-40125S continues to lead the race at the 24x writing speed. The second faster drive comes from Plextor and Cendyne Lighting III third with 231secs. ASUS CRW4012A comes last with 238sec.

LiteOn LTR-40125S offers the lowest recording times again at the 32x writing speed. It needs 193secs to end the task and the second faster drive comes from Plextor. Cendyne Lighting III comes third and ASUS CRW4012A last with 212secs.

At the maximum writing speed, LiteOn drive continues to lead the race. The drive ends the task at 3:09mins and currently is the fastest recorder around. Cendyne Lighting III comes second with 197sec and PleXWriter PX-W4012A third with 198sec. ASUS CRW4012A comes last with 201secs.

The following pictures show the writing times that Nero gave. Note that for the LiteOn drive there are two pics (one with Smart Burn enabled/disabled):
