• Convenience is a 52x disc burner which can burn a disc in less than a minute

    Wisdom is burning at 1x anyway because it results in a higher quality burn

    (this may not apply to burning music, I usually burn PSX games)

        Well acshually… anything above 6x wasn’t actually what it said on the tin. CD data starts from the inside ring, and there’s a physical limit to how fast you can spin a plastic plate before it tears itself apart. So you only got the full 52x speed at the very last part of the burn on the outer ring, and even then only if you filled the whole disk.

      The original 23 wire modchip installation was not for the faint of heart.
