Cyberdrive 482D


Cyberdrive 482D:

Audio-Grabbing:

For the audio-grabbing we are using the Audio Catalyst. The advantage of this program is, that it shows the grabbing speed. This speed varies with the position of the track on the CD. The inner tracks are grabbed slower than the outside tracks. Here are the grabbing speeds for the Cyberdrive 482D drive:

Track x-fold grabbing speed
First track 10,21
Middle rack 12,97
Last track 16,37

In comparison with the so far tested drives the Cyberdrive 482D is the fastest grabber (Mitsumi ahs a maximum grabbing speed of 9,33-.fold and the Artec drive 8-fold).Experiences show, that good grabbing drives can reach values between 15-20 fold. So this drive is placed in the upper area 

Equipment:

In this test feature the Cyberdrive 482D looses. There is no added software and no driver diskette. The installation manual proves this with the fact, that you can download a driver from the internet, if you have problems. Now there is the question, what a buyer of this drive with no internet access should do? We think it is easier to put a driver diskette to the drive, so the user can solve driver problems at once. The installation manual satisfies normal requirements. All interesting aspect are short  mentioned.
The CD-ROM has no Play/Skip-button for manual  playing Audio-CDs. An vertical installation is not possible too.
