WAITEC SfinX 16 COMBO IDE CD-RW/DVD-ROM - Page 6

RW-Packet Writing Tests

We used Nero 5.5.9.0 for writing CDs in maximum RW writing speed for drives tested in 10x HS-RW media. Waitec SfinX 16 supports fully the HS-RW writing standard:

The Toshiba drive was 11 seconds faster than Waitec in the burning test. Waitec was also 10 seconds slower in the HS-RW quick erase task.

- Packet Writing Tests

We used Ahead InCD v3.31 for all Packet Writing tests. We used Ricoh HS RW media and we formatted it. The formatting of the media takes around 10min. After formatting, we tested all four drives for their packet writing performance.

The formatted disc had 530mbs 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 explorer (we dragged and dropped).

Waitec SfinX 16 had a good performance in the writing test, and even a better one while reading. The average reading speed is 15x.
