CD Speed is a CD/DVD-ROM benchmark which can test
the most important features of an optical drive. In this particular benchmark, 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 impact the results slightly, so a pressed disk is the
standard testing tool.

The
Gigabyte GO-W1616A is one of the faster burners at reading data CDs. That's good news for those of you who access CD-ROM material a
lot. Access times and CPU utilization were slightly high on this test.
CD Speed is a CD-ROM benchmark which can test the
most important features of a CD-ROM drive. In this particular benchmark we use a
pressed Audio CD with about 65 minutes of audio on it as the test disk. CDROMs
in general have a harder time processing audio data, and hence the results can
be drastically slower than equivalent 'pure' data tests.

The
Gigabyte GO-W1616A does quite well in the audio tests and audiophiles will be
happy to see that the GO-W1616A is fast at ripping. Again, CPU usage
and access speed were a little higher than we'd like.
