CDROM Drive Test Report

Here is yet another article on hardware testing. Similar to the one on floppy drives and hard disk drives from earlier. Now for my collection of CDROM (and DVD) drives, to filter out which ones still work and which ones doesn't. I have compiled a complete (LaTeX typesetted) report on the test results here. A total of 14 drives were investigated, where 10 were OK, 3 were untestable and 1 was broken.

There are tests on the following hard drive models in the report:
* Aztech CDA 268-01A
* Aztech CDA 468-02I
* Creative CR-587-B
* Goldstar CRD-8160B
* HP XJ-HD166S
* Matsushita CR-504-B
* Philips CDD3600/51
* Pioneer DR-A12X
* Plextor PX-712A
* Plextor PX-716SA
* Samsung TS-H352
* Sony AD-5260S
* Sony CRX320A
* Toshiba XM-5302B
