    Drive Read Cache

    Does it matter if I have been ripping cd's "securely" before having my drive read cache detected? It was set to 1024kb and after I ran the test it set to 75kb. I just wanna make sure there was no loss in quality because of this.

    anything over the real read cache does not matter, 1024 is the default because it works for all drives.

        Rather than start a new thread, I thought that I would just "piggyback" on this one.

        Both of my drives are: HL-DT-ST - DVD+-RW GH50N

        When I run the Drive Read Cache test in dBpoweramp, the result I get is "39KB (17 frames)".

        I also ran CacheX several times - with each run performing 10 tests. The result was "36 kB / 16 sectors". (Occasionally, one of the tests in a run would report a lower number, but none were higher.

        What Drive Read Cache setting would you recommend for me in dBpoweramp? 39 - or a higher value?

        Thank you!

          128KB in your case.

            I'll input that value. Just curious though...how did you get that number? Just trying to learn a little!
