Read Rates With CDRW
There followed a test with the backup copy of the original CD on an HS-RW medium from Liteon (4x-12x):
ATIP: 97m 15s 35f
Disc Manufacturer: NAN-YA Plastics Corp.
Reflective layer: Phase change
Media type: CD-ReWritable
Recording Speeds: min. unknown - max. unknown
nominal capacity: 702.83 MB (79m 59s 74f / LBA: 359849)
This followed the same procedure as with the original CD and the copy on CDR:
The reader performed a little below expectations in this test, too. The maximum data rate was 42.29x. However, in comparison to the competition, the CDRW-FIUX did a really good job: Liteon's LXR-24101A never gets above 16x, and even Waitec's Frisby II is well short of the spec of 40x, reaching a little over 32x.
