Mt. Rainier Tests

For testing the Mt. Rainier performance of YAMAHA CRW-F1, we performed two types of tests. The software we used was InCD v3.7.1 by Ahead Software.

First Test

After the format process, we immediately start the recording process (drag & drop). When the drive finishes, we start the reading process back to the HD. At this mode, the drive writes, reads the quality of the written data and background formats the disc at the same time. For the YAMAHA CRW-F1DX we used both 10X HS-RW media and the Ultra Speed 24X HS-RW. The recording performance of each drive is displayed in the below table.

YAMAHA CRW-F1DX showed a slight incensement under packet writing format, compared to the CRW-F1E series.

Second Test

At the second test, we left the drive alone to complete the background formatting and afterwards, we repeated the above tests. The recording/reading performance in this case is higher for all the drives, since now only record & read are performed. The disc has been scanned for bad sectors during the format process.

- EasyWrite tests

The Philips Easy Write tests checks the quality level of the implementation of Mt Rainier feature. Un-fortunately the CRW-F1DX doesn't support yet the EasyWrite test suite commands…
