My drive came today in a box smaller than the one with the blank CD and with no email notification of my drive being shipped even though I requested it. Replaced my Lite-on 16x10x40x drive with it and Nero detected it without a problem. Ran CD speed (Nero Tools) and got these results:
Tranfer rate test : Speed 21-47X CAV (36.31X Average)
CD Quality Test: 0 errors, Average read speed 34.10X
Seek Test : Random = 95ms 1/3 = 97ms and Full = 162ms
CPU Utilization : 1X = 0, 2X = 1%, 4X = 2%, 8X = 4%
Burst Rate: 20 MB/s
DAE Quality Test: Quality = 10, Accurate Stream= yes
Spin up/down : Spin up = 2.58s, Spin down = 4.15s
How come this drive doesn't average 48X read speed or is it always the max speed that is spec'ed?
