With my original drive I was able to rip a movie with DVDDecrypter at a max 15x and average around 6x. When ripping to my new 300GB drive it tops out at 1.5x. Why is this?!?!?!?!?! Is there anyway I can determine the speed of my computers. They seem to be standing vertical back to back in my Dell Computer instead of with seperate trays. Any help much appreciated.
