Sony MZ-RH1 performs SP write operations at roughly half the speed of a Sony MZ-N920.

This has been discussed a bit recently on other forums. From my testing I can confirm that Hi-MD players are slower in general at writing SP.

Seems the general consensus is that newer Hi-MD players are slower because the focus was on the Hi-MD capabilities. It's very hard to test as there's no easy comparison using Sonic Stage as it's not full quality SP.

Certainly for any of the 'data' formats including LP2, newer players are a lot faster.
