Toshiba 12x40x 1402 owners.....Are Pioneers faster....?

[zsir]

From the time I close the tray it takes 12-15 seconds for the drive to spin up and allow the system to read files from it........This is with regular cd's not dvd's....

Seems like a long time to me....Is this normal for this drive....?

yep..just popped a music CD in. 12 seconds flat.

 

[ghetto buck]

Yep I counted 12 too, which sounds high but is actually very good.

 

[joeryu]

mine is pretty instant.....around 12 seconds

 

[zsir]

I wonder if the pioneer's are any faster......

 

[DesignDawg]

My pioneer is much faster. [EDIT: Just timed it. 7-8 seconds. That's for a 6x slot-load.]

toshibas are more reliable and cloneCD compatible. Pioneer just has the cool slot feature

 

[DesignDawg]

Yeah, whatever. :disgust: I've rever seen anything besides that last post saying Pioneers are less reliable. Please.

The Pioneer is faster I admit. But the two Pioneers I had was noisy like h£ll. And it did a bad job reading DVDs but was a racermachine ripping CDs. Toshiba 1402 is much much quieter and reads DVDs good, but ripping CDs takes a little longer.

Just MHO
