1.3 Gbyte data on a single CD

[Robert J. Chewey]

Philips has a CD-RW,400 SER. INT. IDE 4X4X32, that they say can store up to 1.3 Gbyte data on a single CD. Is that considered overburning?

I'd bet real Monopoly money they are using compression: 650 MB x2 (the "standard" average of compression) = 1.3GB. Makes sense to this brain. /forum/smile.gif

And no, I don't like the idea one bit. /forum/smile.gif Get a DVD-RAM drive if you need that space.

I have seen 2 sided CD-ROMs (more popular as DVD disks), perhapse you have to turn it over.

My HP 9100i will do it also, and it uses a regular cd-r. Uses compression.

9100? That's a new one I haven't heard of Underclocked!

[Underclocked]

Got it at VA. You guys need to go check that OUT!!
9100, 9110 are ide.
9200, 9210 scsi.
9100 is 8x4x32 and I LIKE IT. /forum/smile.gif

around how much is the 9100 at VA after the $100 discount. does it really do 8x write and 4x rewrite. I've had a 4x 4x and it didn't even come close to 4x speeds.

Actually, there is another link to make an account that gives 20 Value dollars at http://www.valueamerica.com/links/yhbdvd01/yhbdvd01_register.asp?p=0. 0.0.0.0.1.0.0.0&l=1.1294&r=0.0.0.0.0 (http://www.valueamerica.com/links/yhbdvd01/yhbdvd01_register.asp?p=0.0.0.0.0.1.0.0.0&l=1.1294&r=0.0.0.0.0) good until the end of this month. Then, sign out.
Next go here http://www.valueamerica.com/links/yhbdvd01/yhbdvd01_register.asp?p=0. 0.0.0.0.1.0.0.0&l=1.1294&r=0.0.0.0.0 (http://www.valueamerica.com/links/yhbdvd01/yhbdvd01_register.asp?p=0.0.0.0.0.1.0.0.0&l=1.1294&r=0.0.0.0.0) for the Visa card 100 value dollars.
Then, using the 120 against the price of http://www.valueamerica.com/product.asp?p=87.87.1071.146008.203565.2724.0.0.0& l=1.8&r=0.1.2.10.0 (http://www.valueamerica.com/product.asp?p=87.87.1071.146008.203565.2724.0.0.0&l=1.8&r=0.1.2.10.0) at 280 you get it for 160 plus the shipping (5?). Not bad.
Phewww!

As to the speed, I've just burned one cd and it went roughly twice as fast as my 2x burner did using 4x on the new one (using my 4x media). 300, 600, 1200KB/s for 2, 4, 8X are the rated transfer rates. Can't say about the 8X rate as I've only the one that came with it, and I'm saving it for ???. /forum/smile.gif
