CloneCD Tests

- Procedure

We used CloneCD (v3.2.3.1) and 5 original CDs - Euro 2000 (SafeDisc 1), No One Lives For Ever (SafeDisc 2), Rally Masters (LaserLock 1), Desperados (LaserLock 2) and V-Rally 2 Expert (SecuROM 2) - in order to test the reading time of Freecom Traveller II . We also tested the reading performance with backups of the original CDs, since the reading speed varies between original and backup media. The following picture shows the reading/writing capabilities of the Freecom drive, as CloneCD reports:

As you can see, Freecom Traveller II is not compatible with CloneCD RAW-DAO mode!

- PSX Pressed Media

For this test we used the PSX game 'NBA Jam Extreme' and we ripped the image to HD with CloneCD. We attempted to read a PSX cd title with Freecom Traveller II . The drive was fast and finished the task in 151 seconds, very close to the Teac's performance.

- SafeDisc 1/2 Results

The winner here is clearly identified. Freecom Traveller II was very slow while reading both pressed / backup titles.

- LaserLock 1/2 Results

Freecom Traveller II was faster in this test but still cannot beat the competitor drives.

The scenario remains the same for the LaserLock v.2 protected CDs. Freecom Traveller II is slower than the other drives.

- SecuROM Results

The Freecom Traveller II does not support 96bytes reading of subchannel data from data/audio tracks, as CloneCD reports. The drive's performance was very good and gets the first position with the backup and the second best with the original test disc.
