Liteon SOSW - 852SX Burner- Page 2
Transfer Rate Reading Tests
- CD Format
The LiteOn SOSW-852SX supports a maximum reading speed of 24X for CD-R
and CD-RW media. What follows are the results of
the LiteOn SOSW-852SX's performance compared with the other two drives:



In the above graphs we can see that there is not much between the three drives.
The LiteOn SOSW-852SX was only marginally slower than the other two with pressed
CD and CDR media but faster with USRW media.
- DVD Format
Using Single Layer media and Pressed OTP (Oposite Track Path) dual layer DVD
ROM media, the LiteOn was slightly faster. With PTP (Parallel Track
Path) Dual Layer media,
the
Pioneer
drive
gave
the
fastest results while the LiteOn drive was a good deal slower reading this
media type.
In general, the LiteOn drive displayed very good reading speeds
with all the formats. The NEC ND-6500A was not that much slower while
the Pioneer DVR-SK12D lagged behind.
Finally, in the DVD ripping test using a pressed DL movie, the LiteOn drive
follows on in the tradition of LiteOn drives,
with the fastest transfer
rate, and hence, fastest DVD ripping...
