Freecom Traveller II combo DVD/CD-RW - Page 6

RW Writing Tests

We used Nero 5.5.6.4 for writing CDs at the maximum RW speed for all the tested drives.

Freecom Traveller II was fast and finished within 602 seconds. This performance is very close to that the Teac gave, which holds the first position. As for the "quick erase" time, Freecom Traveller II got the third position with 54 seconds.

- Packet Writing Tests

We used Ahead InCD v3.14 for all Packet Writing tests with a Ricoh HS-RW media. The formatted disc had 534mbs 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 Windows Explorer (we dragged and dropped) and we completed the test twice to eliminate any possible time measurement faults and user errors:

Freecom Traveller II gave aproximately the same performance as writer/reader. The drive was not fast and gets the third position with 2.8X average speed.
