The e-TestingLabs CD Winbench99
benchmark runs a series of scripted programs from a special CD in the drive and
measures the time and data transfer capabilities as a result. Higher numbers
mean better performance.

speeds.
CD Speed is
a CD-ROM benchmark which can test the most important features of a CD-ROM drive.
In this particular test we use a pressed CD-ROM with about 640MB of data as the
test disk. Using a CDR or CDRW as the test disk may (or may not) impact the
results slightly, so the pressed disk is the de facto standard.
