Hi, Guest
I haven't done the math just yet, but just do 5520 x 4... that's the transfer rate of a 16X burn.
22,080 KB/sec. Or, a hair above 20MB/sec sustained read.
Will the HD float it? Yes. Will anti-virus on-access scans get in the way? Yup. What else is there to consider? If the drive registers as a ATA-33 device or UDMA-33, that's a theoretical 33MB/sec throughput rate that you'll never sustain on that interface, even with a 80-wire / 40-pin cable. If it registers as ATA-66 (like my DVD writer) then you have a theoretical 66MB/sec throughput rate to play with and more headroom... and better luck of a 16x burn but not guaranteed.
I'd suggest disabling on-access scans or turning off your AV software while burning. And also starting at 8X to test the stability of the drive and media.
I have a LG-4160B 16x DVD+-RW. I can't burn at more than 4x cause the drive's an ASSHAT. Live and learn.
