LiteOn Slimtype SDW-431SX - Page 2
Data CD Reading Tests
In order to test the reading performance of the LiteOn drive, we used the latest
version
of NeroCDSpeed with different CD media formats.
- Pressed CD results (Click for
CDSpeed results)
To check the reading performance of the LiteOn with pressed CD media, we
used
NeroCDSpeed and a data pressed disc.


The reading performance of the external Slimtype LiteOn SDW431-S was quite
acceptable, managing to reach and slightly surpass the 24X maximum reading
speed
as stated in the manufacturer' s specifications, with CAV strategy. The
seek times test
graph showed that the drive was fast but not the fastest of the comparison.
- CD-R results (Click for
CDSpeed results)
To check the reading performance of LiteOn with CDR media, we used NeroCDSpeed
and a clone of the previous tested pressed media.


With results very similar to those with the pressed disc, the reading test
with CD-R media finished
with an end speed of 24.81X and quite fast seek times.
- ReWritable Media (Click for
CDSpeed results)
To check the reading performance of the LiteOn with HS-RW media, we used NeroCDSpeed
and a HSRW disc from Mitsubishi Chemicals.
The reading performance of the LiteOn with CD-RW media was again very similar
to the results of previously tested media of the CD family. CAV reading strategy
and end speed
at 24.06X
were the results that NeroCDSpeed reported.
