GloryHound Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) First off, I have an external usb plug in HP dvd writer (DVD1270e) My problem is that when burning DVD+R DL discs, the write speed doesn't get above 0.7x and continues to fail an hour and a half or so into the burn. I am using Windata discs and i know that they are crap, but they shouldn't be affecting my writespeed, right? I have a windows xp desktop computer w/ no usb 2.0 ports. I got this drive from Newegg b/c of blisteringly high reviews and praises, so i don't know whats wrong. If there is any additional info i need to provide, don't hesitate to ask and i appreciate your time. I 01:12:54 ImgBurn Version 2.5.5.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 USB 1.0 can only do 1MB/s, that's why you can only reach 0.7x. You need to get yourself a USB 2.0 card (you won't have PCIe slots I doubt so USB 3.0 is out of the question) and attach the drive to that. See if you can find one on ebay or something that uses an NEC chipset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
