    Hi all,
    How do I find out what speeds my dvd writer is capable of?

    A few options are

    1. If you have EVEREST installed, run it and click Storage > Optical Drives > click your drive and it will report all the max speeds that it will handle per cd/dvd type

    2. Nero Info Tool

    3. Check drive manufacturers site for full specs

    Note: write speeds are also dependent on the type of media used, meaning sometimes you will not get full write speeds from various media be that rated speeds/cheap bulk disks etc
