LG DVD Burner GSA-H62N SATA vs GSA-H50N IDE

Testing:

For testing I am going to be burning a 1GB file and a 500MB file to DVD and timing the difference between the IDE and the SATA drives. I will also be burning a 100MB file to CD and testing the difference in speeds. Both drives will be tested at 16X for DVD and 48X for CD. I will also be performing a seek time, transfer rate (both CD and DVD), and a cpu usage test on both optical drives.

Remember, the lower the number, the faster, and better the drive performed on this test.

The lower the time in this case, the better the drive performed
