Data CD Reading Tests

- Pressed CD results (CD Speed Graphs for Ricoh MP5240A-DP and AOpen DRW4410)

Both drives support the 40x CAV maximum reading speed with CD-R/ROM discs. In the beginning of the task the reading speed was less than 18x, and the outer tracks were read at a speed higher than 41x. Ricoh MP5240A-DP read the disc at an average speed of 31.44x and the AOpen drive was slightly slower with 31.29x.

On the seek times test of the pressed disc the results of Ricoh and AOpen are almost the same in the Random and 1/3 seek modes. The full seek test gave the AOpen drive a slight lead with 190 msec.
