What is the fastest DVD-ROM available? |
| BuLLiTT posted 2005 Jan 09 14:01 |
| I would like to know what are some of the fastest DVD-rom's available. I am mainly interested in extraction speeds from CD/DVD's . Any links to reviews or benchmark results would be most helpful.
Thanks! |

| The top dvd-rom read speed is 16x.
There are lots of models available. |

| I realize the fastest DVD-ROM speed is 16X. What I am interested in is audio and DVD extraction speed. My NEC 3500 does a great job with burn speed but is not really all that good with fast extraction speeds. |

| I thought we were talking about DVD-ROMs here, not DVD writers? (You're talking about burning) |

| I have found the LiteOn DVD-ROMs with flashed firmware to be the best for ripping. My drives have been know to peak at somewhere between 15X and 15.5X when ripping DVDRs. |

| Thanks Jim! Finally a good answer. Yes, I said my DVD burner is not very good with fast extraction therefor I was looking for a DVD-ROM drive to do the ripping part of the process. My only concern was that I choose one that had very fast ripping speeds because from what I understand DVD burners are not very good at this. |

| A lot of burners are locked at 2X. A lot of DVD-ROMs are locked to a certain degree also - however flashed firmwares can unlock the ripping speeds and make them region-free as well. http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_all.php has a pretty comprehensive list of firmwares for many different drives, so it might be worth checking out. |
