Five DVD-ROM Drives Roundup (page 6)

Performance

Nero Info Tool and DVDINFOPro

These two utilities can give us detailed info on the technical characteristics of the drives.

ASUS DVD-E616P3

Plextor PX-130A

Sony DDU1615

Sony DDU1622

Toshiba SD-M2012

Some curious facts can be noticed here: only 254KB of cache memory is reported for the Sony DDU1615 instead of 512 kilobytes. The Sony DDU1622 doesn’t report its ability to work with DVD+R DL media and C2 errors. According to the information extracted from the Toshiba SD-M2012, this drive supports DVD-RW discs and C2 errors (the last thing is very doubtful as you will see in the tests below).
