Hi,
I got a deal on a 12X DVD ROM drive for $14, or a 16X drive for $35 and I'm wondering which to install and which to return. I plan on using the drive to mainly rip DVD's in order to make personal backups on SVCD, or to read CD's for copying to my CDRW drive. Can anyone tell me what would be the speed difference in these two drives? Thanks.
PS The 16X drive is made by BTC, and has the following specs:
Data Transfer rate CAV
DVD-ROM 21,632 kb/S
CD-ROM 7,200 kb/s
Access time: DVD 105 ms
CD 95ms
Buffer 512kb
The 12X drive is made by no name
Data transfer rate: 16,620 kb/s
CD ROM: 6000 kb/s
Data buffer 512kb
I guess my real question is will I notice the difference in performance?
