From looking at the 40x benchies where a 630 meg file was used, the burn was done under 3 mins. What's up with this? I'm using Fuji CDRs, and these ARE supposed to be TY's right? Shouldn't it be burning faster? It's burning at 32x btw, with smart burn on.
Strange, why is it taking 5:25 seconds to burn a 730 meg audio file with a 32x lite on burner?

5:25 seconds.....where can I get one of those drives
Actually I noticed that EZCD creator was faster after I used the update on Roxios site. So it can depend on what you are using as the burning software. Also, I get the fastest burns doing disk at once, rather than track at once.

Yes, it sounds like you are either using under-rated cds, your software needs to be updated, or the software you are copying is having a hard time writing. You should be writing your disc in just over 4mins cause you are using a slower drive and it is a larger amount of data.
All software doesn't burn at the same speed and it could be that you are having problems with that burning software. Whatever the case, does it work? If the stuff works and you wasted an extra 1-1.5mins, who cares?

Erikiksaz,
I've noticed that with my burner (Plextor PX24/10/40A), the times to burn a full CD vary depending on what kind of disc it is. A 700 MB data disc burns faster than a 700mb or so CD audio disc. I attribute this to the program having to decode the music file (MP3, and convert it to the audio disc format. It's even slower if you use the volume normalize.
I usually see right around 4 mins, or a bit less when I burn a plain data disc, and about 5 - 5 1/2 minutes for a CD Audio format disc that uses MP3s as the input. This is with a 24x burner and Taiyo Yuden discs.

Ahh, i see i see. I'll give the data burn a try. But i thought TYs would be the fastest type of cdrs around, sigh.
If they are both on the same IDE-channel and you're doing a CD-to-CD copy then that might slow it down. You could switch one of the CD drives so the burner is on it's own IDE-channel.
Hehe, i just checked. Using Via's IDE TOOL, i could never turn on ultra dma on my cdrw or dvd drives. I figured out that i needed to set the prim/sec master/slaves to "auto," and not, "none" to get it to work. So now both my drives are on ultra dmas, and it's burning around three minutes!! Thanks guys, this r0x0rs my old 4x drive!
