RW Writing Tests

We used Nero 5.5.3.5 for writing CDs in maximum RW writing speed for all the tested drives in 10x HS-RW media. All drives support fully the HS-RW writing standard:

The AOpen CRW1632 leads this test with the lowest time! The other drives need from 4, up to 9 more secs to finish the task. The CPU Usage is slightly increased while the erase time is considered good (48secs).

- Packet Writing Tests:
We used Ahead InCD v2.26 for all Packet Writing tests. We used TDK HS-RW media and we formatted it. The formatted disc revealed 530mbs of free space. We copied a 403 MB file (403.147 kbs) from a Hard Disk (on the same PC as the writers) to the formatted RW media-using explorer (we dragged and dropped) we completed the test twice to eliminate possible time measurement faults and user errors:

The results showed that the AOpen CRW1632 had the best packet writing performance and the second best (16.36X) when reading packet formatted discs.
