LG GSA-H62LI detail information

Let’s now take a look at the writing technology of the LG GSA-H62LI:

These tests were done using CD-Speed and we wrote a full disc at the drive’s maximum speed.

CD-Recordable

Specification on the LG GSA-H62LI state it should be able to write CD-R media at a maximum speed of 48X; let’s take a look and see how it did.

The LG GSA-H62LI uses CAV, (Constant Angular Velocity), to write at its maximum speed of 48X. This gives an average speed of 36.50X and a total writing time of 2 minutes and 41 seconds.

For comparison we provided the following table:

As we can see, the LG GSA-H62LI was the second fasted compared to our other drives when writing CD-R media.

CD Re-writable

According to the specifications of the LG GSA-H62LI it should be able to write CD-RW media at a maximum speed of 32X.

The LG GSA-H62LI uses Z-CLV, (Zoned Constant Linear Velocity), to write at its maximum speed of 32X. This gives an average speed of 28.97X and a total writing time of 3 minutes and 03 seconds.

For comparison we have made the following table:

Here again we find the LG GSA-H62LI to be the quickest of our tested drives when writing CD-RW media.

18x DVD+R/-R writing speed

According to the specification of the LG GSA-H62LI, it should be able to write DVD+R/-R media at a maximum speed of 18X.

18x DVD+R

The LG GSA-H62LI uses CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) to write DVD+R at the maximum supported speed of 18x. This results in an average write speed of 13.63x and a writing time of just 5 minutes and 07 seconds.

18x DVD-R

The LG GSA-H62LI uses CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) to write DVD-R at the maximum supported speed of 18x. This results in an average write speed of 13.65x and a writing time of just 4 minutes and 56 seconds.

For comparison, we have made the following table:

As you can see from the above table, the LG GSA-H62LI is the fastest among our tested drives when writing at 18X; it is at least 3 seconds and as much as 49 seconds faster than the other drives tested.

It appears to be that the LG GSA-H62LI has replaced the LG GSA-H42N as the fastest 18X re-writer.

16x DVD+R and DVD-R

The LG GSA-H62LI uses P-CAV (Partial Constant Angular Velocity) to write DVD+R and DVD-R at 16x. This results in average write speeds of 12.69 – 12.71x and writing times of just 5 minutes 13 seconds to 5 minutes 25 seconds.

8x DVD+R and DVD-R

The LG GSA-H62LI uses a two-zone 6X-8X Z-CLV (Zone-Constant Linear Velocity) strategy to write DVD+R and DVD-R at 8x. This results in a average write speed of 7.88X for both the media while writing the DVD+R in 8 minutes and 01 seconds and a little faster with the DVD-R, writing it in 7 minutes and 50 seconds.

8x DVD+RW

The LG GSA-H62LI uses Z-CLV (Zone-Constant Linear Velocity) to write DVD+RW at 8x. The average speed is 7.88x and total writing time is 7 minutes and 22 seconds.

For comparison we have made the following table: 

6x DVD-RW

The LG GSA-H62LI uses CLV (Constant Linear Velocity) to write DVD-RW at 6x. The average speed is 6.01x and total writing time is 9 minutes and 55 seconds.

For comparison we have made the following table: 

As you can see the LG GSA-H62LI was among the fastest drives when writing both DVD+RW and DVD-RW media.

10x DVD+R DL

According to the specifications of the LG GSA-H62LI, it should be able to write DVD+R DL at a maximum speed of 10X.

The LG GSA-H62LI uses Z-CLV, (Zoned Constant Linear Velocity), to write at its maximum speed of 10X. This gives an average speed of 8.99X and a total writing time of 13 minutes and 34 seconds.

10x DVD-R DL writing speed:  

According to the specifications of the LG GSA-H62LI, it should be able to write DVD-R DL at a maximum speed of 10X.

The LG GSA-H62LI uses Z-CLV, (Zoned Constant Linear Velocity), to write at its maximum speed of 10X. This gives an average speed of 8.91X and a total writing time of 14 minutes and 19 seconds.
