Gets the max writing speed of opened drive in KB/s.
Important: This method returns the speed in Kb/s (e.g. - 1380) , not a multiplier (e.g. 12). A multiplier is not returned, because DVD and CD have different KB/s rates for their respective 1x speeds. The media type should be checked prior to getting the maximum write speed. if the media type is of a DVD format, use 1380 kb/s in the calculation to display a multiplier. If media is a CD format, use 176 kb/s in the multiplier calculation.
DVD 1x = 1380 kb/s
CD 1x
= 176 kb/s
NOTE: Some drives will not return exact multiples of these constant kb/s values, so it may be necessary to round up or down for display purposes. Be sure to retain the values in kb/s as well, so the write speed can be set using kb/s.
Return Type
A Long value.
