Performance

CD WinBench 99

I tested the drives in CD WinBench 99 using a molded CD-ROM and two copies of it made on CD-R and CD-RW discs. This will help us see how the drive processes different types of media.

• CD-ROM (graph)
• CD-R (graph)
• CD-RW (graph)

These data-transfer graphs show that the drive has no problems at reading the media with the exception of the CD-R whose graph has a small jagged section at the beginning.

The drive shows its highest performance with the CD-ROM and lowest with the CD-RW. The tests of read speed produce expectable results: this speed is the highest with the CD-ROM and the lowest with the CD-RW. The measured access time is not bigger than the declared value. It is the lowest with the CD-R and the biggest with the CD-RW disc.
