DVD reading tests
- Test Method
We used Nero CD Speed to run DVD tests. All tests were performed at least 3 times with the same DVD title (we show the average results). The tests discs were one single sided, single layer DVD-ROM, one single sided, dual layer DVD-ROM, and DVD-R,-RW, +R and DVD+RW media.
- Single Layer DVD-ROM reading: (Click for CDSpeed results)
Toshiba SD-R5002 supports 12X CAV reading speed for the DVD format. The drive is clearly faster than the Pioneer model.
The seek times of Toshiba SD-R5002 are low. The random seek test gave an 112 msec result, and the Full seek around 228 msec. The results are confirmed by the Toshiba specifications.
- Dual Layer DVD-ROM reading: (Click for CDSpeed results)
The drive supports 8X CAV reading speed for the dual layer DVD-ROM discs. The drive starts reading at 3.48X and finishes the task at 8.39X, with an average speed of 6.27X.
The seek times for the dual layer DVD-ROMs are the same as in the previous test.
- DVD Ripping Tests
We measured the DVD Ripping speed using the "Matrix" DVD Video title and DVD Decrypter v3.0 software.
The ripping speed of Toshiba SD-R5002 is high and reaches the 9170 kb/sec. The Pioneer model is slower enough with 2750 average ripping speed.
- DVD reading Tests
The charts below shows the Nero DVD Speed results with the following media.
The drive supports 4.8X CAV average reading speed for the DVD-R (v1.0 and v2.0) and DVD-RW (v1.1) discs. Notice that X equals to 1735 kb/sec for the DVD format. The average reading speed for the DVD-R /-RW /+RW is 3.75X. The DVD+R discs were read slightly faster.
