In this part of our Yamaha CRW-F1 review we'll test how fast the drive can write different CD-Recordable media. Of course we tested every disc afterwards if errors had occurred as you can see on page 9: write quality. We used a 650MB avi-file and various files to make a total file size of 700MB. We used Nero Burning Rom to write this file in DAO (Disc At Once) mode. Every disc was finalized and set-up as non-multisession. We used CD-R discs that were certified for as many different write speeds as possible (12-40X). In the table below we've summed it all up for you:
The Yamaha CRW-F1 drive could write most discs at a higher speed than they were certified for. The Discplanet Media discs were written at their certified speed. As we already saw on page 9 of our review the created discs could all be read fine after they were burned. As a conclusion we can thus say that the media checks the burner performs are good and it's no problem that you can only select 44X as write speed besides 16X and lower.
When writing CD-ReWriteable media we had a mixed result. All discs could be written at 10X but only the Yamaha 74BHS CD-RW disc could be written at 12X. The ultra-speed Yamaha 74BF CD-RW disc, manufactured by Mitsubishi, could of course be written at 24X.
To conclude our review we will take a look at how far the Yamaha CRW-F1 can overburn and if it can handle 8cm CD-R's and 99 minute CD-R's...

:4Anyfinally more than a 2MB buffer on a fast drive.
How exactly does the TDK/Lite-on 48x24x48 drive compare to this Yamaha drive??? Most importantly, is the TDK/Lite-on drive able to copy all copy protections without the 'amplify week sectors" option of clone-cd??? I would love to se a review of the TDK drive with exactly the same benchmarks and comparisons… I am going to buy the TDK or this Yamaha… Pleas help me, and the rest of us make up our minds!
Thanks,

I have made even a recording on single speed using the Yamaha, because i could not believe its dissappointment but with no better result.
I naturally first ripped the audio with plextool's 1.15 new DAE extraction, because it's better than EAC's and made recordings on Platinum's 700 MB CD-r's
on 50 piece spindle costing only 35 Euro cents a piece.
The Plextor's recording were very little bit lighter in sound-quality, but just as musical like the originals, but the Yamaha's were very much different in comparison with the original cd's and lacked musicality giving you that kind of specific digital sound.
Used Cd sources were, Badi Assad's "Rhythms" and Chessky's demonstration cd and Mariah Carey's "Butterfly".
So for the enthousiats among audiofreaks consider this comment as serious.
All the other qualities of cd-burning of the Yamaha is perfect according the tests on this site.
Great review site.
My compliments.
