- Reading Tests

To create the image of the various protected titles to the hard disk, we used Alcohol 120% software and the appropriate settings, according to the protection type of the inserted discs. Below you can see the duration of each process as well as the transfer rate in each case.

Game Title	Protection Scheme	Duration	Reading speed
PSX "NBA Jam Extreme"	Lybcrypt	00:47mins	1898 sectors/sec
Serious Sam The Second Encounter v1.07	SafeDisc v.2.60.052	01:09:16 mins	555 sectors/sec
VRally II	SecuROM v.2	02:37mins	2225 sectors/sec

When it comes to game protection, the ASUS DVD-E616A can read/rip accurately all copy protection schemes with no problem, and considerably fast too. In this comparison, the ASUS was the fastest of the three drives.
