CloneCD Reading Tests

- Procedure

We used CloneCD and 4 original CDs - Serious Sam 2 (SafeDisc 2), Desperados (LaserLock 2), V-Rally 2 Expert (SecuROM 2) and NBA Jam Extreme (PSX) - in order to test the reading time of the drives. We also tested the reading performance with backups of the original CDs, since the reading speed varies between original and backup media. The following pictures show the drive reading/writing capabilities as CloneCD reports:

- PSX Pressed Media

For this test we used the PSX game 'NBA Jam Extreme' and we ripped the image to the HD with CloneCD. The drive needs only 53secs to finish the task, almost the same time as ASUS CRW3212.

- SafeDisc v.2 Results

The drive needs 18mins to end the task. The internal drives are not much faster, and only ASUS CRW3212 gave a higher result.

- LaserLock v.2 Results

With the LaserLock v.2 protected disc, the drive finished after 35 minutes. The Asus drive is still the fastest in the test.

- SecuROM Results

Incoder GH32U-A1 can read SubChannel data from Data/Audio tracks. 4:13 minutes were enough for the drive to make the image file to the hard disk.
