The Teac CD-552E supports 52X CAV CD-R reading speed. The drive started reading at 23.1X and reached 52.32X at the end of the disc, resulting to an average reading speed of 39.71X. In the same test, the CyberDrive 52X was faster with 40.06X.

The seek times of Teac CD-552E were low in all the stroke modes, and agree with the drive's specifications. The Samsung SC-152L has the lowest Random seek times, while the TEAC and CyberDrive 52X drives have the exact same seek times in all three tests.
