RW reading tests

- Nero CD Speed v0.83b Test: (Click here to see the CD Speed 99 graph)

For the RW tests, we used TDK's HS-RW media. The AOpen CRW1632 drive gave back the same performance level as the PleXWriter PX-W1610A:

CloneCD Reading Tests

- Procedure:
We used CloneCD (v3.0.5.1) and 5 original CDs - Euro 2000 (SafeDisc 1), No One Lives For Ever (SafeDisc 2), Rally Masters (LaserLock 1), Desperados (LaserLock 2) and V-Rally 2 Expert (SecuROM 2) - in order to test the reading performance of AOpen CRW1632. We also tested the reading performance with backups of the original CDs, since the reading speed varies between original and backup media. For comparison reasons we added the results of the already tested PleXWriter PX-W1610A, Teac CD-W516EB and LiteOn LTR-16101B. The following picture shows the AOpen CRW1632 reading/writing capabilities:

- SafeDisc 1/2 Results:

The AOpen CRW1632 gave back a great performance when it came to the reading of protected SafeDisc v1 CDs. Its performance was the second best behind PleXWriter PX-W1610A.

With SafeDisc v2.0 protected CDs, the AOpen CRW1632 is a stable reader and gives back a pretty good number, which even though, cannot reach the high performance of PleXWriter PX-W1610A.

LaserLock 1/2 Results:

In the LaserLock protected CDs test, the AOpen CRW1632 gave back the best reading time with the original CDs and the second best time with the backup media.

Again with LaserLock 2 LaserLock 2 protected CDs, AOpen reads them faster than competition, with original CD. With the backup CD, PleXWriter leads the race.

SecuROM Results:

The AOpen CRW1632 can read SubChannel data from Data/Audio tracks very fast! The competition simply cannot follow...
