hehe.. No.. actually this is my dad's desktop.. (and Yes.. I should've changed thread) nero for M$. (is there a nero for Linux?? If Yes.. I'm switching..) The media(imation) is rated at 1-48x. (tried 24,32,40,48x works on <24x) Running simulation mode.. only yielded like ~3M to 4M/s transfer rate. If I run the "test all drives transfer speed" I get up to 40MB/s. so.. what gives??

If it's rated at 24x, that's the best you can expect to get. -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
