Conclusion
Apparently,DVD-R is dramatically faster than DVD-RAM in terms of read and write performance.During the test,we realized that DVD-RAM has a over slow performance during drag and drop files,3X speed is consider a lack of speed for disc format,the speed is similar like your broadband connection while transferring files in windows.Conclusion is,DVD-RAM is still a new player for the new DVD Format which still require a more improvement in terms of their writing and reading speeds.Otherwise, features is just great compared to normal DVD disc which require burnings.
