Howdy…I have been using an NEC CDR-36 drive for about a year now. I have only recently started using MPC disks (with .WAV and .AVI files) and the transfer time on the drive seems very slow. I tried MPC Wizard on it and came up with a transfer rate of 22K/sec. This was verified by copying a 15 Meg file to my hard drive. I called NEC but their tech support didn't have specs for the 36. The manual states a transfer rate of 150K/sec but doesn't say whether this is burst or sustained. Can anyone tell me whether these transfer rates are OK? Thanks in advance. -Larry P.S. The drive is run off a 486 Local bus PC and a Trantor T128 SCSI card.
