Re: ko/s, time to format a cdrw

Ok, very good explanation. Chapeau! (hat) we say in french.

So why on my computer it takes more than 8 hours to burn a 500 mo file?
More than 8 hour !!! and I didn't wait more, I stopped the copy.
And if I try to copy 9 little files (9 files for a total of 2 mo) it 
takes 10 mn!!!
It's slower than direct-cd and nero incd.
Is it a normal speed?
Someone has better performance packet writing with this drive?
Thanks for your help and your work.
