20x Speed Burning! is it Really Faster?
The 4 Minute Burn is it a MYTH? When 16x DVD writers came out all the manufacturers claimed fastest burning speeds and NEC actually claimed that it would burn a DVD in under 4 minutes. I disputed this in my review and feel we were all misled by this marketing hype.
We now have 20x speed burners and still have not yet reached the 4 minute burn claimed by NEC.
So how do the 18x & 20x speed burners compare? I have available a few drives to make my comparisons
I ordered a Liteon 18x DVD burner from a well known supplier and was surprised & excited to find they had sent me the DH20A1P which is a 20x speed burner, I contacted Danny their technical boffin in case there had been a mistake to find that Liteon were now shipping this model as standard :)
My chart below shows the actual burn times of the various drives I tested together with the maximum & average burn speeds achieved
