RW Writing Tests

We used Nero 5.5.2.3 for writing CDs in maximum RW writing speed for all the tested drives in 10x HS-RW media. All drive support fully the HS-RW writing standard:

The Lite-On needed 490secs to finish the task. The drive performance was the second best behind PleXWriter PX-W1610A. The Sanyo and Teac drives needed 2-3 more secs to finish the task from Lite-On drive. The erase time is very low (39 secs) the same as with the Sanyo CRD-BP1400P.

- Packet Writing Tests:
We used Ahead InCD v2.13 for all Packet Writing tests. We used 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 results show that the Lite-On drive has superb packet writing performance (the best among the four tested drives) and needs improving at the reading section (only 6.89x).
