CDR Tests

We tested the drive with latest version of Nero Burning Rom. The supported writing speeds for Mitsumi CR-48XFTE are illustrated below:

The drive reduces the writing speed in case it is necessary to maintain high writing quality. Our tests showed that the Mitsumi drive accepts a limited number of media for writing at 54x. The screenshot below is the Nero CDSpeed writing test with blank CD-R media by Samsung:

The average writing speed is 41.22x. The drive uses the CAV writing strategy, starting from a 24.69x speed in the beginning of the disc and reaching the 54.07x in the outer tracks of it.

In the following chart you can see the maximum allowed writing speeds according to the inserted disc type:

As you can see, the Mitsumi CR-48XFTE reduced the writing speed by the end of the writing process, with most of the media we tested. This can be also confirmed by the increased recording times. Writing at 54x was achieved only by using Samsung 48x, Ciba Plasmon 48x and SKC 48x CD-R media. Among them, the lowest writing time was achieved when using Samsung media (2:42min).

The supported media list for writing at 54x is limited and this can certainly be improved with a future firmware upgrade. Moreover, the recording times are also not the best we have ever experienced, and some 52x writers could easily compete Mitsumi in this area.

Below you can see a Nero screenshot after a successful burning at 54x:

Mitsumi reduces the writing speed in case the media cannot handle it. The following screen shot comes from Nero Burning Rom after a successful burning at 54x, while the writing time shows that the actual speed was reduced during recording:
