RW Writing Tests

We used Nero 5.5.5.6 for writing CDs at the maximum RW speed for all the tested drives. The Mitsumi CR-4809TE supports not only 10x but also 12x re-writing speed, making it the faster re-writer at this category:

The Mitsumi CR-4809TE ,with 12x RW, is currently the faster re-writer. It needs only 408secs to end the task. With 10x RW speed the drive needs 487sec. The CPU Usage is low and the erase time is under 60secs.

- Packet Writing Tests

We used Ahead InCD v3.12b for all Packet Writing tests with a TDK HS-RW media. The formatted disc had 534mbs 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 Windows Explorer (we dragged and dropped) and we completed the test twice to eliminate any possible time measurement faults and user errors:

The Mitsumi CR-4809TE has a 8.88X max packet writing performance. The average reading speed (12.05X) is good and only the PleXWriter PX-W2410A is faster.
