 We determined the burning speed of the drive with a stopwatch. Our software was WinOnCD 3.7, which is what Mitsumi suggests. We took the timings when cramming a CD full with 650MB of data. The CD was created using DAO ("Disc At Once"). We determined the writing speed using the time thus measured. The test was conducted one time each for writing and re-writing. Here are the results with those from other burners for reference: CD-R: CD-RW: When burning to blank CD-Rs, this drive's speeds are comparable with those of LG's top of the line model, the CED-8080B (8/4/32). Here the Mitsumi's burning speed (blue bars) just edges out all other competition. Moreover, the CR-4805TE achieved the best completion time (red bars). Compared to its predecessor (4804TE), one sees clear improvements, with burning performance more than doubled. When burning to blank CD-RWs, the CR-4805TE is right up there with all the other models, and when set to the 4x rate it is clearly in front, achieving the highest burning speed and finishing the fastest.
