48x drive is topping out at 16x. Whats the deal?

I'm using philips cd-r's. LITE-ON OEM 48X burner. It says it completed at 48x, but it's obviously not burning that fast. I ran the nero speedtest and it topped out at 16x. this is my neroping log.

What could be causing this?
NeroPing V1.10
Initialize Win Aspi32........Ok
Start scanning device.....

Host Adapter = 0
[Target ID = 0] 'WDC WD80 0BB-00JHA0 05.0 '

Host Adapter = 1
[Target ID = 0] 'LITE-ON COMBO SOHC-4832K OQKB '

Host Adapter = 2
[Target ID = 0] 'NERO IMAGEDRIVE2 2.26 '

Finish scanning..............Ok


Thanks!
Dan

 

it may depend on what disc you had in the drive at the time if you had a DVD in there or a CDRW this may cause it to seem slow 48x is only for CDRs

 

PUT THE DISK in and then it should work if not pm me

 

Excuse me kiss161, i dont want to sound rude but what do you mean " Put the disk in and then it should work". i just dont see were your going with this?

 

Yea, the guy is just a jerk.

This thread is SUPER old too, If anyones wondering, I just updated the firmware and I'm off to the races!

 

@ckw0n I am glad you got it all worked out
