RW Writing Tests

We used Nero 5.5.5.7 for writing CDs in maximum RW writing speed for all the tested drives in 10x HS-RW media. Aopen RW5120A support the HS-RW writing standard:

Aopen RW5120A had the same burning time performance with Ricoh MP5120A. The erase time is for Aopen RW5120A is lower and the drive takes the first place in this test.

- Packet Writing Tests

We used Ahead InCD v3.14. 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:

The AOpen RW5120A performed very well under packet writing mode. It has the same writing performance with the Ricoh and the same reading perfomance with the Philips drive.
