Is this unusual when using EAC

Thread Starter 
I have 3 different optical drives...... one is the stock laptop drive, and two external drives. They are all confugred the same way with accurate stream.


Drive A) rips about an average of 2X
Drive B) rips about an average of 5X
Drive C) rips about an average of 7X

They are all configured the same way, so should I use drive C as my default drive OR should i assume that the slower the rip, the more accurate?

If you've configured all the drives to rip secure there shouldn't be any difference in the files which you get. If drive C is able to rip faster and still correct the errors which might occur then I don't see why you would go for the slower one.

I've seen quite a difference between the drives I've got as well, so I'm guesssing this is quite normal. Some drives are just better than other I suppose.

For the last two days EAC has been offline. I'm curious. I'm concerned.

How old is the technology in the drives? I bet it goes like this (from newest to oldest): C, B, A. Are they rated differently? Have you come across one of the definitive CD's to rip yet? Try that one in all three.

I second the recommendation to go with the newest one/fastest one every time.
