Whena 48x rated disc is in the drive the max speed in Nero drops to 24x.I've looked through all options and can't see why the speed is half ofwhat it should be. This isn't a huge problem since 24x is fine but I'mcurious as to why tops out at 24x. Feel like I'm missing something.Does anyone know of a firmware update for this drive?
I haven't used Nero, but I've noticed when using Adaptec's ECDC
4.02d(292) that one of the first things it does is "calibrate" the
transfer rate from the HDD. Perhaps that is what is happening with
your Nero too? (I.e. it gives you the "default" max when nothing is
happening, but changes to a more realistic value when it looks like
you're actrually about to use it. Just a guess from the ignorant! :)
