Help with faster rip speeds ... Buffalo MediaStation

[MBlue72]

Hello:

I recently purchased a Buffalo “MediaStation” 16x External BDXL Blu-Ray burner (~$160). I was hoping it would help solve the problem outlined in my earlier thread (“Confusing Problem with Version 15.1 …”). It didn't, but I have a different question on which I would greatly appreciate feedback.

The Buffalo MediaStation is USB 3.0 compatible and its specs claim CD read/write speeds of 48x. But using dBpoweramp, the ripping speed seems to be limited to 15x. This is much slower than my on-board CD-ROM writer (now more than 2 years old). I have ripped several CDs on the Buffalo MediaStaion and they all seem to top out at exactly the same spot – 15x.

Any ideas on how I can get faster rips?

I am on Windows 7. Thanks.

Dave

dBpoweramp does not set the speed so it is the drive which is deciding to max out at x15

OK, thanks.

Is there a way I can change it? I have right-clicked on "Properties" in Device Manager but didn't see anything i thought would help.

Thank you.

It is internal to the drive, it is not possible to change.

OK. I guess I need to take it up with Buffalo. As I mentioned in my original post, they claim 48x for CD read/write speeds.

Thanks.
