All the drives in the test have exactly the same reading/writing specs. The faster drive comes from ASUS with 39.54X, while the CyberDrive CW099D comes second with a 39.23X average score. The CW099D didn't reach 52X at the end of the disc with the pressed media.

The seek times of the CyberDrive are pleasantly surprising since it needs only 77ms for the random seek, 80ms for the 1/3 and 149ms for the full stroke.
