De mannen van CDRLabs.com hadden een 40x brander van APS op hun testbank liggen en meldden de resultaten in deze review. De externe APS 40/12/48 brander maakt via een Firewire of USB 2.0 interface verbinding met je computer. Daar de drive gebaseerd is op Sanyo's nieuwe 40/12/48 brander is de APS voorzien van BurnProof om coasters tegen te gaan en FlexSS-BP, Sanyo's Optimum Write Speed Control technologie. Bij de benchmarks komt duidelijk naar voren dat je deze brander niet moet kopen als je net je uiterste best hebt gedaan om je computer stil te maken. De prestaties zijn daarentegen erg goed op het gebied van het schrijven van CD-R's. Hieronder een gedeelte uit de conclusie:
APS's new 40/12/48 CD-RW is packed full of features and offers some pretty impressive performance. The drive has a good number of features including a 4MB buffer, BURN-Proof buffer underrun protection and APS's own FireWire Plus technology. APS's new writer also has a level of performance that allows it to go head to head with some of the top internal drives on the market. I'll be honest, I was very surprised by how well this drive did in our tests. When reading pressed and CD-R discs it had some very good transfer speeds. In our DAE tests, APS's writer was able to reach an amazing 48x and was topped only by Lite-On's 40x writer. Unfortunately, APS's writer also had a few shortcomings. The drive's seek times were a little higher than we like to see and it was a bit slower than some of the other drives we've tested when reading CD-RW discs.
[...]In the end, APS's 40/12/48 CD-RW is one of the best external drives I've tested. Anyone looking for the the fastest reading and writing speeds available, along with the flexibility of having both FireWire and USB 2.0, should check this drive out.
