A method for evaluating data transfer performance within a data recording apparatus is disclosed. The data recording apparatus includes a buffer and a recording medium. Initially, a Pause time P when data transfer between the buffer and a host being stopped temporarily is measured. Then, an ideal Pause time Y is determined. Next, a determination is made whether or not the Pause time P exceeds a sum of the ideal Pause time Y and an allowance a. If the Pause time P exceeds a sum of the ideal Pause time Y and the allowance a, a warning signal is sent to the host.
