Read Speed
To measure speed, we used CDSpeed99, as usual. The green curve indicates the the rate process, the yellow the rotation rate.

The advertised 32x read rate is no problem for the PleXWriter 12/10/32A. It is easily reached with “normal” CD-ROM media, such as original CDs, as well as green and blue CD-Rs. The nearly constant rotation rate guarantees a linear gain in speed.
The PleXWriter obviously does not reach the stated RW rate of 10x. This is however quite common; because of its redescribability, writers’ lasers have a more difficult time data from this kind of medium. Therefore CD-RW transfer rates are usually 50-75% lower than those for other media, and the PleXWriter acheives that 75% maximum, with a terminal velocity of 24.
