CyQ've 2400Plus IDE DVD+RW - Page 6

CloneCD Reading Tests

- Procedure

We used CloneCD and 4 original CDs - Serious Sam 2 (SafeDisc 2), Desperados (LaserLock 2), V-Rally 2 Expert (SecuROM 2) and NBA Jam Extreme (PSX) - in order to test the reading time of the drives. We also tested the reading performance with backups of the original CDs, since the reading speed varies between original and backup media. The following pictures show the drive reading/writing capabilities as CloneCD reports:

- PSX Pressed Media

For this test we used the PSX game 'NBA Jam Extreme' and we ripped the image to the HD with CloneCD. CyQ've needed 1:49min to finish the requested task, just 2 seconds slower than Philips DVDRW228.

- SafeDisc v.2 Results

With both pressed and backup test discs, CyQ've 2400Plus was faster than the other drives, with small differences.

- LaserLock v.2 Results

With the LaserLock v.2 protected disc, CyQ've 2400Plus was slightly slower than the other drives, especially in the test with the backup CD.

- SecuROM Results

CyQ've 2400Plus can read SubChannel data from Data/Audio tracks. Ricoh MP5125A is the faster drive in the pressed CD test, but CyQ've 2400Plus leads the backup CD test.
