Nero CD-DVD Speed: Basic DVD Tests

Now let’s perform some tests with DVD media. I used five discs again: a Video DVD and its copies on DVD-R (Digitex), DVD-RW (TDK), DVD+R (Fujifilm) and DVD+RW (Verbatim) discs.

The drive could only reach its declared speed with three out of five DVD discs. Of course, the lowest speeds were with the rewritable media. By the way, in spite of what the informational utilities say, the SCB-2408-D successfully handles DVD+R/RW media – just like ASUS, its manufacturer, claims. The measured access time exceeded the specified one.
