Re-Writing data:

For this test we set up a new compilation containing 650Mb of data in Nero Burning ROM. We used the DAO (Disc At Once) writing method. In the screenshot below you can see the burn process completed successfully.

The Samsung SM-352B used 3 minutes and 46 seconds for writing the disc at 24X, let us compare this to some other writers; The Lite-On LTC-48161H using CAV(Constant Angular Velocity) writing tech used 4 minutes and 56 seconds to write the disc, the Plextor PX-708A which uses P-CAV(Partial Constant Angular Velocity) writing strategy used 3 minutes and 43 seconds to write the disc and the Optorite CW-5205 using the CLV(Constant Linear Velocity) write strategy used 3 minutes and 45 seconds. As we could see there is just a few seconds separating the 3 best drives while the Lite-On is completely set aside.

Packet writing:

Now it's time to take a look at the packet writing performance of the Samsung SM-352B. We used Ahead's InCD to format and write 401 MB (421 003 264 bytes) data to the disc.

CD-RW packet writing performance:

The Samsung did very well in the packet writing test and were among the best drives, let us see if this is the case with Mount Rainer packet writing as well. If you want to read more about the CD-MRW format, please read our Mount Rainer article.

The Mount Rainer performance was very good and is among the best we have seen from any drive.

Before we round off this review, let us run the drive through some advanced tests at next page…
