RW Writing Tests

We used Nero 5.5.2.4 for writing CDs in maximum RW writing speed for all the tested drives in 10x HS-RW media. All drives support fully the HS-RW writing standard:

The Plextor drive needed only 484 secs to finish the task. The drive is faster than Sanyo/TDK, by 8 and 10secs, and from LiteOn with 3secs performance gap. The erase time is slightly higher than the competition (60 secs) while the CPU Usage is also low.

- Packet Writing Tests

We used Ahead InCD v2.26.1 for all Packet Writing tests. We used TDK HS-RW media and we formatted it. The formatted disc revealed 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 shows that the PleXWriter PX-W2410A is the faster recorder/reader at the packet writing mode. The drive outperformed LiteOn by only 0.02X at the writing process, and with 5.63X at the reading test.
