For some reason, it's taking me longer to burn a CD on this at 32X than burning a cd on my old CDRW at 12X.
wtf could be wrong with it, could it be hard disk fragmentation? should I go chuck it at the shop that sold it off to me? I mean come on. Do these times sound real?
12X = 8:08
24X = 9:21
40X = 9:20
:( jelp! what should I do?
I suggest fire, and lots of it.
Or, yeah, return it.
Check your burning program settings
Make sure you do an accurate test (i.e. same disk, 3 times)
Or Return it
see if the cds you are using are made to burn at 32x

is it an external drive?
check the settings in the burner program................................. :smash:
I went and returned it, and got a refund. I had run the tests several times with various CDs but to no avail. benQ sux testicles.
I picked up a Samsung for 10$ more and this one works. Turns out the drive was fux0red up.
they had a cd burner of that speed on sale at best buy for $29 canadian D;
29 canadians?
that's a pretty good price. what brand?
this samsung cost me US$ 65
i can only burn at about 24X though coz my HD's being a bottlenecked bimbo.
I like my VeloCD. Lots of people crap on them, but I think it works great. I have only ever had it fuck up two CDs and one of them was cause the power went out. :mad: And they do stick with there bargain. I sent in both bad CDs and they sent me two brand new ones.
