- the TDK veloCD 24/10/40UE uses Z-CLV to reach 24x recording
speeds. The drive changes speeds at about the 6 and 16 minute
marks and has an average writing speed of about 22.77x.
The Plextor actually changes speeds at the same places,
but its average writing speed is 22.72x.
-
BURN-Proof- The TDK veloCD 24/10/40UE features
Sanyo's popular BURN-Proof technology to help prevent
coasters. BURN-Proof was created by Sanyo and stands for
Buffer Under Run error Proof. If you have a slower computer
or want to multitask while writing and not create coasters,
then BURN-Proof is your answer.
-
FlexSS-BP- The TDK veloCD also uses Sanyo's own
Optimum Write Speed Control technology. This new technology
is called FlexSS-BP. FlexSS-BP loosely stands for Flexible
Speed and Flexible Strategy. While the goal of BURN-Proof
is to reduce the number of writing errors, FlexSS-BP allows
a user more flexibility when recording data.

So there are the straight up times to burn an Audio and Data
cd with the TDK veloCD 24/10/40UE.
Very reasonable times for this USB 2.0 burner.
This is a safe buy especially for those that are on the go.
The drive is about the size of a regular IDE recorder. They
have done a very good job to make the USB 2.0 case around
it as small as possible.
Final rating: 8 out of 10
