Samsung SW-224B IDE CDR-W - Page 7

RW Writing Tests

We used Nero 5.5.7.0 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 Samsung SW-224B performance was good and gets the third place with 485secs. It is interesting that the drive had a very low erase time (31secs).:

- Packet Writing Tests

We used Ahead InCD v3.19/DirectCD v5.1 for the packet writing tests with a Mitsubishi Chemicals 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:

The Samsung SW-224B didn't performed very well in  the packet writing tests. The drive's reading/writing performance are lower than the top. The drive had 6.84X when writing and 9.96X when reading.
