dbminter Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 If we take all other things being equal, at a write of 1x, is the write in terms of Kb/S the same for write once media as it is for rewritable media? I realize it may differ depending on the media format. e.g. it might be the same for a DVD writable disc but not for a CD. But, in general, with all things taken equally, say, is 1x write speed the same speed on a DVD-R as it it on a DVD-RW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbminter Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Now, for a similar question. Is 1x read the same speed as 1x write? In terms of Kb/S. I would think a read operation is faster than a write operation. With a read, you're just copying data to a buffer. In a write, you're "physically moving" objects. Sort of like how in DOS days a Move operation is faster than a Copy operation because with the Copy you have to first read the full data and then write a second copy somewhere else.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Yes, they're the same too. It's just about how fast the disc spins, not the amount of work going on behind the scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
