Ok, now I have been letting this slide for awhile but after 2 months, it's time to find out what's going on.
Rundown...
Bought a new system in October (quad core), with two LG drives..one is a standard (lightscribe) dvd burner and the other is that LG Super Multi Blue (BR/HD) drive (I think I wasted my money on this )
So I am extracting movie VOB's from my dvd's so I can convert them to something my voyager can play... however when I see the drive speed in which it decrypts the movie...it starts off at 2x, then slowly after a few mins goes up to 3x then 4.8x and so on til the decryption is done. My old system would extract at the fast possible speed and you would hear the drive... these drive (both drives) are reading at slower speeds for some strange reason.
When installing games, they take FOREVER (like nearly 30 minutes). My old machine never was this slow on reading data from the drive.
Is this something that VISTA is causing or do you think something in my bios is not set right causing the data read/write speed on the SATA ports to be slow by default? (since the drives are SATA).
Any input would be helpful.
Thanks
