Not satisfied with Recognition Time

[Mickz]

Bought my first ASUS drive yesterday. Which is DRW-2014S1T. And i am not really satisfied with the results i'm getting from the tests. The CD i tested was the one i got with the package. Contains Nero 8.

What do you think of this? DVD Transfer rate low too. Are ASUS drives like this? OR Is it my settings or something?

Why no replies? I thought this was the most active forum for optical drives.

First: Say Hello! a:a
Second: Upgrade firmware (if available).
Third: MCSE might help with that (if the firmware is supported)… I think you have to increase read speed.

And recognition time is said to be slow with Asus drives, with no real fix in sight.

Anywho, welcome to the forums.

Llun, Sorry for that. I’m just too frustrated with my drive! [B]Hello everyone![/B] and yes i checked the site and apparently this is the updated firmware.

Thanks Albert for replying! Some dvds have better recognition time though. But still over all, My samsung drives were much faster.
