I posted this in the optical forum but I dont think there's much traffic there since it hasnt been any reply and its been hours. Maybe you guys can help.
I have a plextor 716A that I've transferred from my old computer. I thought that my slower burn speeds were due to a slow system but now I know that's not the case. I get only 8x max burn speeds when I should be getting higher. I am using verbatim media with azo and also sony media. I have even defragged the disc, and nothing else is running on the same ide. When i try to burn at 16x, the drive speeds up to about 8.8x, then it always drops down to about 7.9x and stays there until the burn is complete. The drive is not running in pio but its in DMA as ususal. What gives?
