Our PX-708UF drive had no problems reading any brand of media we threw at it regardless of how old the media was. The writing times of the PX-708UF matched its internal equivalent the PX-708A in just about every test, but trailed significantly when comparing seek times and read times. You can see a similar trend with the PX-504UF external drive. A number of factors could be to blame for this including the high CPU usage and the Easy CD and DVD Creator software. We test each drive with the software it comes with to give an accurate test result to the buyer and it quite possibly could be that Easy CD Creator was the limiting factor in this case. System Configurations: Windows XP Pro; AMD Athlon 1700+; Abit AT7 Max 2 motherboard; 512MB DDR SDRAM 333MHz; PNY GeforceFX 500 video adapter.
