The CyberDrive DX082D finished the test at an average speed of 33.23x, slightly faster than Philips DVDR824P. Both drives offer 40x CAV reading for CD-R/ROM. Plextor and Optorite drives were also fast with 32.26x and 30.44x, respectively.

The seek times for CyberDrive were quite good. The Optorite DD0401 leads the battle being fastest in all seek times, while Philips was the slowest.

- CD-R Media results (Click for CDSpeed results)

We made a copy of the previous pressed CD in order to check the drive's capabilities when reading a CD-R. CyberDrive was the fastest once again. It finished the test at the speed of 33.14x average, followed by Philips DVDR824P.

The CDR-Media seek times did not differ very much from those of the Pressed CD with the Optorite drive again being fastest.

- ReWritable Media (Click for CDSpeed results)

For the reading test we used 24x Ultra Speed rewritable media from Mitsubishi Chemicals.

The CyberDrive's performance with CD-RW was once again similar to that of previous media. It managed to read the US-RW at an average speed of 33.08x. It is worth noting that the reading process started at 19.37x and reached 43.69x upon completion. Philips has the second highest speeed while Optorite was the slowest.
