In these tests, again we will be using the Lite-On SOHW-1693S drive with firmware KS0B along with KProbe to measure the disc quality. We will also again be using the LG GSA-H10A with firmware JL03 along with CD-DVD Speed for the DVD-RW and the BenQ DW1655 with firmware BCGB for the DVD-R read-back tests.

Not really a surprise that this Media did not write very well. Transfer test shows problems at the end of the disc.

Although this disc wrote at 6x instead of 8x the result is a high quality burn.

Again an excellent DVD-RW burn.
To sum it up: Overall, on the selected review media the write quality is very good to excellent on DVD-R and just plain excellent on DVD-RW media.
Head on to the next page and read about DVD+R DL compatibility and write quality...




Is this true? Thus can I read this review and quality scans as an accurate representation of the GSA-H10N? If there is differences between these two drives due to the different firmware or other what would they be?
Thank-you as always for all reviews here and TIA to anyone who can help me with my above question.
