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 only 67 min to finish the requested task.

- SafeDisc v.2 Results

The DVR-A05 needed aproximately an hour to finish the task. The performance is low but improved from the previous model.

- LaserLock v.2 Results

With the LaserLock v.2 protected disc, the drive finished after 35 minutes. Still the DVR-A05 is faster than the DVR-A04.

- SecuROM Results

Pioneer DVR-A05 can read SubChannel data from Data/Audio tracks. 3:12 minutes were enough for the drive to make the image file to the hard disk.
