#165281 - 12/06/2003 09:39 Ripping speeds getting worse...
TigerJimmy old hand Registered: 15/02/2002 Posts: 1049	Hello all, I've ripped most of my collection on a Windows box with a Plextor Plexwriter 40/12/40A. At first, I was getting rip speeds in the 35-40x range. Now its down to 16-18 at best. Has anyone else experienced this? I suspected drivers and installed newer ASPI drivers with no effect. I upgraded the drive firmware with no effect. Do these things just wear out? Is there any way to test that? Thanks in advance, Jim
