Round 2: Performance

All write tests are run with both the drive's recommended media (submitted by the manufacturer), rated at the drive's maximum speed.

Verdict: A mixed bag this one. Although good read/write performance with DVD+R puts the Plextor ahead in most of our benchmark tests, overall, the speed differences between the three drives were merely marginal. All three drives hit well below the 20-minute mark when recording with high-speed 4x DVD+R media.
