Tests on Lite-On 52x24x52x cd-rw drive

Installed my 52x lite-on so I decided to do some testing on it. Here's the results:

Data Read:
http://happynothing.netfirms.com/cdrwReadTestData.jpg
It lists end read at 21.05x but it was really 51.5x before the spin down.

Audio Read:

Writing:

And lastly is advanced DAE quality test:

Seems to pass with flying colors (I like how the read/write values are off the chart near the end of the cd :p ).

Wow very nice :D I have an 'old' 40X though so I don't think I'll be getting one. Lite-On drives are great though! I'll definately be getting one for my next build. I wonder what write speeds will be up to by then... hmm maybe we'll have blue lasers (finally) or then again DVDR might take the cake and become the standard. Sure would love to use only a few discs to backup those mp3s instead of the usual stack ;)

Lowest is 4x. I didn't post it, but I tried the overburning test on my free AT&T 80min cd-r's and it went up to 89:99.99 no problems. I didn't try any higher, but that was at 52x.

Most current burning software will not permit burning below 4X.
AverageJoe, that's STELLAR!!!! Congrats..
What media are you testing with? And how about write quality test?

Media is some free AT&T 80 min cd-r's. The cd quality test came back with no errors.

only problem

will be burns on the fly.

you must have a reader that will read at least 52x, and it is recommended that your reader be a bit faster, so...............

you got to get a new faster reader, like a 16xdvd, 56x read.

upgrades, upgrades, endless upgrades,

are we having fun yet????.

btw, i have several LiteON products, couple of 40X writers and a couple of 16x/48x DVD players in two systems, all work like a dream.

Come on cd-rw drive with 59 secs to 1 sec time to burn a whole 700MB or more cd-r and cd-rw cd!!! I really want 1 sec including lead in and lead out if thats ever possible! If it does come out thats when i upgrade! I want something super fast! So far 4 mins is not bad but going from 4 mins to 1 sec will be a lot faster if that is ever possible! I am not holding my breath remember but whos knows. Anything is possible!

Don't you all want to beable to burn a whole 700 MB + cd-r or cd-rw cd in 1 sec including lead in and lead out? So that means you could burn about 10 cds in 1 min if you include the time it takes to take the cd out, label it, put it in a case,etc. Maybe more. Now thats what i call fast!

I seriously doubt that a 1-second burner is possible... someone prove me wrong.

A 1 second burn isn't possible because of the mechanical parts of the cdrw drive. If cds turned into some sort of nonvolatile flash memory then it would be possible, but then again it wouldn't be "burning".

It was my birthday yesterday, one of my friends got me an AOPEN CRW4012 (40x 12x 48x Writer. I am clueless on writers and was wondering if this one is any good... what do u guys think? i have an option to switch it with other brands including asus, BenQ, Samsung and SONY.

What do u all suggest keep?

Thanks in advance

[EDIT] Was comparing prices: why is it that Brands like Plextor and Yamaha at the same spec, are priced twice as much as good brands like Lite-On, Aopen, BenQ, ASUS etc..? do Plextor and Yamaha offer some added benifits that others don't are they just charging the (2x)extra bucks for the brand nemae only

Plextor and yahama are the good brands. They are both rock solid. Lite-on is best buy for the $$$.

I want larger media. 700mb just isn't enough sometimes. I'd like to see something around 1 gig.

1 second burners are impossible. A full 700MB CD in 1 second means:

1. The interface has to support at least a transfer rate of 700MB/sec. Even with Serial ATA transfer rates are limited to 150MB/sec, and those are just theoretical numbers - not real world performance numbers.

2. The source (hard drive, or another CD drive) that is giving the CD-RW data to burn needs to have at least a 700MB/sec transfer rate. The fastest CD-ROM drive is the Kenwood True 72X CD-ROM and that has a maximum theoretical transfer rate of 10.8MB/sec so CD To CD copying would be limited to 10.8MB/sec at best. Most IDE hard drives are limited to a 40MB/sec sustained transfer rate, so that is out of the question too.

*edit* Also the angular velocity required to burn a 700MB CD in 1 second would probably be too great for the drive to sustain, meaning the CD would probably damage the drive or fly out or something. Probably an exaggeration but at that kind of speed we're definetly going to hit that type of limitation.
