My guess is that it might be related to the "BurnProof" function of the drive. I'm using The Imation 48X CD-R's, with a Plextor 40x12x40 CD-R, and cdrecord, using the "driveropts=burnfree" option, and no matter what speed I specify, cdrecord seems to choose its own burn speed (faster or slower). If the media is is of high quality, it will burn at a faster rate. Last time I looked, Yamaha CD-R's were rated as the best, followed by CompUSA's CD-R's, and Imation was close by. Yamaha's CD-R's are more expensive, but you might try buying a couple and see what speed they will burn.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??
Not all burners are equal. You did not mention what brand of burner you use. Have you checked for firmware updates for the drive?
