Benchmark - CDSpeed (Data CD - BAPCO Sysmark
2002 Disk 1)
Using a Data CDROM from BAPCO's Sysmark 2003 Disc
1 of 2 which has a length of 76minutes. We ran the Nero CDSPeed test and found
that the average Speed is around 37X. At max it reaches a high of 49.17X.
The seek times recorded are also slightly faster than the specification. Again
we see low CPU utilisation.
In fact, in this test, while I am testing, I was
opening up Photoshop and Frontpage retreiving some files and chatting on MSN
with fellow moderator. This didn't affect the performance much. The Burst Rate
at 1MB/s.
