In this segment, we will be testing the write speed of the ASUS BC-1205PT for the various DVD recordable media below. This is a gauge of how this drive stacks up against the competition.

4x DVD+/-RW / DVD+R DL

Brands of Media used: -

SmartBuy 4x DVD+RW = PRODISCW02
Verbatim 4x DVD-RW = MCC01RW4X
Verbatim 2.4x DVD+R DL = MKM001

6x DVD-RW / 8x DVD+RW

Brands of Media used: -

  • Ricoh 8x DVD+RW = RICOHJPNW21
  • MKM 6x DVD-RW = MKM 01RW6X01

Looking at the time taken by the ASUS BC-1205PT to write to the dual layer disc and the various rewritable media, it is quite competitive with the other drives here, though there was no overspeed for the DVD-R DL disc like some of its competitors. Also, while ASUS lists the maximum write speed for DVD+RW as 6x in its datasheet, we managed to burn our TDK DVD+RW media t 8x. The DVD-RW however was burnt at the proper stated speed of 6x.
