| The Sony Spressa & HP 9310i |
CD-RW drives or CD burners as they are most often called is quickly becoming a data transport standard thanks to the help of new technologies that allow a CD to be written to in lighting speed. CD-RW drives can not only write data one time to a CD, but many times with the use of a CD-RW disk.
Manufactures are in a race to prove their CD-RW drive is the fastest and most stable on the market by incorporating a ton of CD burning features that help to insure the correct copy of data and audio onto a standard CD-R or CD-RW disk without errors and at maximum speed.
This head to head shootout is going to cover two of the top 10X CD-RW drives on the market today and show you what technologies work and which ones dont! The Sony Spressa Professional, and the HP CD-Writer Plus 9310i, both of which can write data at 10X speeds -are going under the microscope, and we are going to drag out the good, bad, and ugly.
CD writing can place a lot of stress on a computer. Reason being as data writes speeds increase, the CPU and drive system in a computer must be able to keep up, or errors can occur during a CD-write sometimes rendering the CD-R useless. Thats one of the most important things to look for in any CD-RW drive how reliable it can burn CDs at those blazing fast speeds. I dont want to dig too deep into CD-RW technology, as most are already familiar with what actually happens when a CD-R or CD-RW is written to. But as this head to head match up commences, there are going to be some new terms introduced to you, therefore I will explain a little bit about each one as we go along. And as you will see each drives comes with its own set of proprietary requirements to attain a fast and reliable burn.
