RW Writing Tests

We used Nero 5.8.0.0 for writing CDs at the maximum RW speed for this test. Lite-On LXR-24101A supports 10x re-writing speed.

Lite-On LXR-24101A gave the best result in this test. The writing time is low and competes all the 24x external IDE drives. The "quick erase" test also rated the drive in the first position with 27 only seconds.

- Packet Writing Tests

We used Ahead InCD v3.21 for the packet writing tests with the 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:

Lite-On LXR-24101A write the file at 7.14 average speed and read it back from the HS-RW disc at 10.96x.
