Read Speeds are slow on new drive?
Posted: Sun Jul 21, 2019 10:59 pm
I have just gotten a new optical drive (BD-RE ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.03) and have noticed that my read speeds are a lot slower than on my old drive (DVD +R-DL TSSTcorp CDDvDW TS-H653Z 4303) when ripping regular DVDs.
For the same disk:
BD-RE ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.03: 5.0X (average) - time: 11:48 min
DVD +R-DL TSSTcorp CDDvDW TS-H653Z 4303: 9.2X (average) - time: 06:38 min
More info: When ripping, after a few seconds my old drive starts to turn really fast and it becomes pretty loud and we can see the read rate increase drastically. However, my newest drive doesn't do that and seams to be stuck at a specific read rate. Why?
