Burning speeds = CD-Rom reading speeds?

[Vince604]

I'm just wondering if I burn a CDR at 40x would that be the max speed my CD-Rom(Asus 52x) can be able to read the disc at? Or it wouldn't matter what speed I burn at and my CD-Rom drive can stil read a CDR at max speeds?

No, your CDROM will attempt to read at max speed, 52X. Note that max speed is only reached near the end of a full disc. Also, some CDROM/CDRW drives have a different max read speed for CDRW discs, sometimes the max only being 32X.

Ok so burning speed does not affect reading speed right?

Alright thanks for the info!

No, burn speed does not affect read speed. CDR media quality can affect read speeds though.

If you get a bad burn due to high burn speed or slight incombatibility problems between media and drive, reading the disc at full speed may cause errors. This again will cause the drive to reduce read speed. So in a sence write speed can affect read speed. But if you have a well burned disc the drive will read at max speed.

Well how are you supposed to get a well burned disc?
I mean lets say I do a 1:1 copy or copy the CD to my hard drive and then burn the data on to the CD... isn't that well burned media? As long as I use media that is certified for that speed and burned at that speed wouldn't it be a well burned disc? Because there won't be anything to interfere with it(I tend to shut down everything in the background and burn whatever I have to)..

Yes, that should do it. But if you want to be on the safe side, use medias recommended by the drive vendor. They have much better testing methods than 'just burn and see if it works'

Alright thanks.
