    I assume your usb is version 1.1, the standard now is 2.0. Using a 1.1 instead of a 2.0 will definately increase your burning time.

    Hi there,

    If your laptop only has USB v1.1 (12 Mbps MAX) you will need to purchase a USB v2.0 PCMCIA Adapter (480 Mbps).
    If you laptop has a spare PCMCIA slot available.

    See the huge diffence is speed from USB1 to USB2 ?

    12 Mbps translates to 1.5 Megabytes per second (ie 1500ish KB/sec data transferred)
    480 Mbps translates to 60 Megabytes per second (ie 61000ish KB/sec data transferred - however no burner could go that fast, but there's theoretically loads of capacity there)


    ie if i was burning a DVD at 8x speed, i'd be trying to transfer data at 8000ish KB/sec (very approximately). Same difference for ripping from a disc too.

    On my DVD-ROM, according to Shrink, I've seen in excess of 11,000KB/sec, and on my Lite-On LDW-851S DVD+R 8x (burner), according to Decrypter, I have seen up to 10800KB/sec.

    Regards,

    Rich

    yeah, my approximation was indeed an approximation :)

    dvd transfer (ie where 1x = 1350KB/sec) more accurately equates 8x to 10,800KB/sec top whack
