Did I get ripped off ?

Ok here it is:

601 meg data
total to record files 8:36 min (516 sec)
total with header write closed disc 9:24 min (564 secs)

nero reported 8x instead of 10x.

kinneera is right about the speed is enforced by the media. The yamaha reads the discs and decides what is the best speed to record at. I have had it say 12x on a 16x cdr.

If the fastest was 488 secs at 10x, imagine what the yamaha could do at 10x...

So don't take to heart what you read.

It also depends on the manuf of the blank. I have blanks labeled 16X that would only burn at 8x. Next disc in the same batch only 6x. I have different results from different manuf.

Yamaha is generally respected as one of the best CDRW brands available with Plextor often being thought of as the best. Every company makes models that sometimes have flaws for one reason or another. The guy who says to throw it in the trash because it's a Yamaha is off his rocker My 2 cents worth!

Why would I waste my time bashing Yamaha ?
I have a Yamaha burner. I read a review on the product and it says that the burner can't rewrite at 10x, so I post a message hoping that someone with the same burner can give me some feedback. Thats all.

I have a Yamaha 2100S rated for 16x write, 10x rewrite. Using NERO (which detects the speed a disc can be written at) and the appropriate media, I burn a cd-r at 16x no problem whatsoever, and using the included "high-speed" cd-rw I can burn at 10x, no problem whatsoever.

What software are you using to burn the CD's? If its NERO, your media probably can't do the max burn speeds, so NERO doesn't allow you to select it. Put a cd-r rated for 16x in and try it, it will burn it. Put a cd-rw rated for 10x in and try it, it will burn it too.

Enough Yamaha bashing already, Plextor is better than Yamaha, Intel is better than AMD... blah blah blah... who really cares? (rhetorical question, don't bother answering because I certainly don't).

The speed of rewriteable discs is strictly enforces by the media itself, thus a 4x disc will only burn at 4x regardless of the speed of your drive, and the same goes for 8x. As for CD-R, if your drive is rated for 16x, and you're getting 15.9x, then your drive is performing appropriately. The write mode can even impact burn speed - if I ask my Plextor to burn full subcodes, it maxes out at around 9x even for 12x discs.

Maybe the person who did the product review didn't like Yamaha burners ?

TDK burners are also very good.
