marvin Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 hi, I consider buying a Hi-MD recorder. Not only for listening music but also for storing data and using it as a USB drive. My question is what is the recording speed of data on a Hi-MD disk. I mean how much time will it take to download and upload 1GB of data to and from a Hi-MD recorder. Thanks in advance. marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xispe Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 I've read that the recording speed is about 450 kb/second. It's slow, but it's nice, because with a standard md you'll have 270 mb of disk space, and 1gb with the new discs. i think the reading speed is the same, but i'm not sure (at least seems it's the same). To upload 1 gb... i don't know, i took around 20 minuts to upload a 200 mb file to a std-md. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutant1345 Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 well its not fast but hen you consider storing a gig of space or 300 mb for 7 buks or just over a dollar then i feel that you cant be too picky the read speed is pretty standard meaning if you put a video on there it wont play back slow or anything its goes at normal seed, its a great backup meathod but requires patience im willing to deal with that but its up to the individual person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
