Hello! I have a few questions regarding how to properly configure my CD drive(s) for ripping.
1) When configuring Ultra Secure Ripping, what does "Vary Drive Speed Each Pass" do?
2) How can I "reset" my drive so it re-runs the AccurateRip Automatic Configuation Wizard (and asks to re-run key discs)?
3) dbPoweramp says that my drive (ASUS DRW-24B1STc) doesn't support FUA, but the cachex software says that it does, and cleared a 5/5 when testing the Plextor flush command. Should I enable this in dbPoweramp, or leave it alone?
4) dbPoweramp also says that my drive doesn't have a Drive Read cache, but cachex says that it has a buffer of 1536 kB. Pulling up the technical information for my drive in dbPoweramp also shows that it has a 1.5MB buffer size. Should I put 1536kb for the Drive Read Cache setting in Secure Ripping settings, or also leave that alone?
5) What impact does reading into the lead-in and lead-out on a drive have on the accuracy of a rip? Is this something essential that I should be looking for in a drive?
6) How do people determine if a drive can read into the lead-in/lead-out on a drive? Is there a piece of software I can download to perform this testing?
7) How important is C2 Support in a drive?
8) Are there any good modern external USB-C Blu-Ray or DVD-drives that are recommended for secure ripping? My ASUS DRW-24B1STc is a SATA drive in a VERY old machine. I have an external Blu-Ray drive (ASUS BW-16D1X-U), but it doesn't seem to support C2 pointers.
9) If cachex says that a drive has a buffer and that caching cannot be disabled, can it still be used with dbPoweramp?
Thanks in advance for answering my questions!
