Panasonic SW-9572-C
The Panasonic drive, shipped with the same CD/DVD writing software as the LG GSA-4040B, B's Recorder Gold 5 version 5. By default, the application launches a Wizard that leads the user through the creation of Data Discs, Audio CDs, Video Discs, Disc Copying and audio ripping. The user can also customise the Wizard for inclusion of additional or alternate shortcuts such as HD Backup or Disk Rescue. The software is quite easy to drive and certainly quite powerful although some of the features such as MP3 creation are on 30 day trial only.
The Panasonic can write to DVD-R/RW and DVD-RAM media but not to DVD+R/RW.
The Panasonic was not one of the top performers in the group. It was the slowest of the drives in the CD-R test although this is to be expected given it is only rated at 12x for CD-R writing. DVD-R write performance was quite good but the Panasonic is only rated at 1x for DVD-RW so it had around half the write speed of many of the other drives. On the plus side, the SW-9572-C was the quickest in the DVD-RAM write test.
