Which would be faster for copying media or is the difference negligible...not concerned with the loss of a 2nd 5.25 bay
1 Blu Ray DVD read/write = storing to PC then writing to disc?
OR
2 Blu Ray DVD read/write = 1 reading and sending directly to the second Blu Ray DVD read/write and it writing directly to disc?
Jesus flip that's a loaded question
Essentially, when copying from one optical unit to another, the "pc" will:
1. read a section from unit A to the pc's hard drive
2. write the section to unit B from the hard drive
(I'm not aware of software that will use memory only as a r/w source, although it's possible)
Arguably, read from one, write to something else, read from that something else, then write to the destination.
I'd like to see the tests done, but imo, I would think reading everything from an optical to the harddrive, then writing from that harddrive to an optical - in one move, i.e. a single optical, would be quicker. (minus the swapping of discs obviously)
In an idea world, like a dedicated duplication unit, using 2 opticals "should" be quicker - but with a pc in the middle, and not knowing what the pc is like, I'm not so sure.
