DVD-Writing performance:

The specifications of this drive tell us that it should write DVD±R at 20x, DVD+RW/-RW at 8x/6x, and DVD±R DL at 8x. In these tests we will be using a Lite-On LH-20A1P with firmware KL05 along with KProbe to measure the disc quality. We will also be using the Optiarc AD-7173A/Lite-On LH-20A1P with firmware 1-01/KL05 along with CD-Speed for our read-back tests.

EDITORS NOTE: Some DVD±R media was burned by using the OverSpeed function.

Would be cool to see cd-r and cd-rw (mainly verbatim US+ media) scans for this unit. I realize this is a 'preview,' but if one's going through the trouble to post dvd scans, why not cd as well?
