Sanyo CRD-BP2 SCSI CDR-W - Page 5

CDR Tests

We mostly tested Sanyo CRD-Bp2 on it's capabilities to write 12x CDs with the BURN-Proof feature enabled. (Since this is the feature we all expected to see how it works.)

Software used :
Nero v4.0.7.5 / NTI CD MAKER Pro v3.6.870

Brand Of CDs :
Prodisc / Prostech / Ritek / Princo 8x, 12x / Basf / Maxell / Mitsui Gold & SG / TDK / Verbatim / Yamaha 4x RW / LeadData 4x RW / BTC 2x RW

CDR Tests :
On the Fly CD Copy (both Data and Audio) (with Plextor PX-40TS/Pioneer DR-104S)
Data CDs (Multisession - TAO,DAO,SAO)
AudioCDs (from mp3 and wav files) + CD-Text CDs
VideoCD

BURN-Proof Tests:
When we first read about BURN-Proof we thought ..nah.. this can't be possible. We can make our PC's buffer underrun whenever we want. So when we got Sanyo CRD-BP2 at our hands our first concern was to test the so called "BURN-Proof" capability. What did we do?

We tried to burn at 12x and at the same time run the following programs:

- Winamp with Visual OpenGL plug-in
- Prassi PrimoCD doing 2 images from 2 CD ROM's into same HD
- AVP checking for virus same HD
- Scandisk of Windows checking same disk
- CheckCD98 of WinOnCD measuring same HD
- Several IE and NS windows open
- Sisoft Sanda Benchmarking PC same time all above programs running

Running all of the above programs simultaneously, almost succeeded bringing my PC into its knees, crash (CPU LOAD 100%) but no bad burn! Want more tests?

How about writing CDs in 12x from Disk Drives and no coaster? How about while writing CDs pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, leave the PC at this condition for 5 minutes and then come back continue burning and not a single coaster? Is this impressive or not ? All our projects causing buffer underrun (and coasters) with BURN-Proof feature turned on failed:(

However this showed that BURN-Proof technology really works great and future CDR-W based on this technology will make you all happy. You will be able to work and at the same time burn your favourite CDs without caring for destroying the media. This is something no one was able to do in the past.
