I run my plextor at x8 all the time
If the manufacturers say it will do it then it damn well should !
I use a seperate partition for loading up the files and make sure that
the patition where the software writes to before dumping is also
empty,works a treat and we are writing CDs every day ,no coasters !!

filmscanners: CD Writing Speed

2001-02-16 Thread Stewart Musket

Several months ago I noticed that Tony Sleep had mentioned Gear software for
CD writing in one of his e-mails.  I contacted the company and tried their 
product for a month before purchasing.  I have been very pleased with the 
product.  I can write 12X with no problem and without taking any special 
precautions.  Their buffering is excellent.  The Gear software is rather 
expensive, however ($150).  I am using a Smart and Friendly (a now bankrupt
company) CD writer with a SCSI connection.

I run my SCSI Plextor at 12X all the time. I didn't even know you could slow
it down.
