Will a new DVD drive be faster than my old one?
I need to copy many dozens of data discs (DVD-R) onto an external hard drive and want to know if a new DVD writer will be faster than my existing one. So the main need here is for fast *reading* rather than writing.
I can't find the drive speed anywhere. 2011 Thinkpad T520 CTO which means I chose the specs myself. Device Manager says the burner is hl-dt-st dvdram gt33n.
Are there differences in read speeds between DVD writers? It's taking me 10 minutes to copy 4.0 or 4.1 Gb.
