RW Writing Tests

We used Nero 5.5.8.0 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-232B performance was low with 486secs. It is interesting that the drive had a low erase time (28secs):

- Packet Writing Tests

We used Ahead InCD v3.24.3 for the packet writing tests with 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:

The Samsung SW-224B didn't perform very well in  the packet writing tests. The drive had 6.9X when writing and 16.5X when reading.
