Club CDFreaks - Knowledge is Power - View Single Post - What's the performance of 3500A 2.18 when installed in USB enclosure

Hello,

I currently have the NEC 3500A with 2.18SE installed on my Laptop with USB enclosure (Bytecc ME320). I have flashed my drive all the available FW and I am still getting transfer speed of 13.98 at max. Is this the limitation of the USB 2.0 enclosure? Did anybody to performace test on any of the enclosures?

I asked this in some of the last threads, but is there any issues of using the binflash windows version for flashing NE3500A inside the USB enclosures? It seems it's working fine for me but I thought there might be some potential complications in doing this. Thanks everyone!

Also I am getting really crappy rip speed when using the DVD shrink. Someone mentioned that the encoding speed highly depend on my CPU. Do you think Pentium M 1.4Gh is limiting my compression speed?
