The CRW-F1 was tested by the most complete and exact methods possible. The tests we ran were as follows:

  • Time taken to burn for 700 MB. The operation was effected from hard disk to three 80-minute Fujitsu CD-Rs. The software used was Nero Burning Rom 5.5.8.13.
  • Time taken for a CD-to-CD copy on two identical CD-Rs.
  • DAO-RAW copy test with Clone CD software.
  • Analysis of a CD-R burned at maximum speed using CD-R Diagnostics.
  • Burning of CD-Rs of different makes to test compatibility.
  • Assessment of performance in reading and digital audio extraction using DAE Speed 99 and CD Speed 99 software.
  • Estimate of speed in CD-RW mode.
  • Overburn test.
