CloneCD Reading Tests

- Procedure

We used CloneCD and 3 original CDs - Serious Sam 2 (SafeDisc 2), V-Rally 2 Expert (SecuROM 2) and NBA Jam Extreme (PSX) - in order to test the reading times of the drive. We also tested the reading performance with backups of the original CDs, since the reading speed varies between original and backup media. The following picture show the drive(s) reading/writing features as CloneCD reports:

- PSX Pressed Media

We ripped the image to the HD with CloneCD using the default settings. The drive needs 72secs to finish the task, while the PX-W4012A needs only 54secs.

- SafeDisc v.2 Results

The PX-W4012TS drive needed almost 6:32mins to finish reading. The PX-W4012A read the same disc almost in the half time and therefore gets the first place.

- SecuROM v.2 Results

All drives can read SubChannel data from Data/Audio tracks. Here we can see an improvement of the PX-W4012S, since it's slightly faster than the PX-W4012A series.
