HP dvd400i

Performance

In our DVD writing tests, the dvd400i placed right in between the TDK 440N (4X DVD writer) and Plextor's PX-708A (8X DVD writer). As far as writing speeds, the dvd400i could certainly be faster but we did not experience any bad burns proving the drive is reliable.

In our CD writing tests, the dvd400i experienced the same problems the Pioneer's S606 had. Writing to CD media proved to be very time consuming taking more than 3 minutes to write a 525MB directory.

 

System Configurations:

Windows XP Pro SP1; AMD Athlon 1700+; Abit AT7 Max 2 motherboard; 512MB DDR SDRAM 333MHz; PNY GeforceFX 500 video adapter.
