 |
|
Use CD-Rs as CD-RWs |
| |
|
Depending on the recording
software used, a CD-R can be left as an open ‘Session’ which allows
recording on a CD-R several times, just like CD-RWs do; look for the
words ‘Session’ and ‘Closing’ in the recording settings. |

To burn small files in CDs
properly |
|
|
|
If you have to back up a few
hundreds of megabytes of small files, it is usually more efficient and
faster to put together all files into one zip file and then defragment
the computer. Do this before opening and using the burning software. |

|
|
Get the right burner |
| |
|
Get a CD burner with at least
4MB of buffer memory; this will help decrease the amount of times that
buffer under-run protection has to start to develop better writing
performance. |

CD burner interfaces are
important |
| |
|
If the CD-RW drive is a
portable, then the interface is a very important factor to consider;
FireWire are the fastest, but they require special connections; USB 2.0
drives are almost as fast, but without a USB 2.0 connector, the USB 2.0
runs at regular USB speeds only. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To burn CDs faster, get a
burner 40X or higher |
| |
|
Get a CD-RW that burns at 40X
or faster; if it is slower than this, all CDs will take more time to
burn, and depending on the type of computer used, not many things can be
done while the CD burner is burning or the recording may be affected
negatively. |
