Writing Performance
We used Nero 5.5.8.0 and wrote the same amount of data for all Waitec X-FILE/Ricoh DVD+RW MP5120A/Philips DVDRW208 and Aopen RW5120A drives. In the Nero's 5.5.8.0 writing tab, only the 2.4x writing speed is displayed. The results are listed in the following table:

Waitec X-FILE has very low erase times - less than one minute for quick erase and 12mins for full erase. The drive is the faster in the quick erase test, and close to the competition in the full erase task.
Packet Writing Performance
We used the same file/methodology as we are using for our CD packet-writing test. Waitec X-FILE is faster than the other drives in the writing test and slower in the reading part.
