Media compatibility tests:Well, how fast is the drives at writing? Especially at writing older discs and no-name, low quality discs. For this test we used CloneCD to write from an image.

| Fujifilm 24X 80min (Fujifilm, phthalocyanine) | 4: 01 - 24X | 4: 18 - 20X |
Media compatibility summary: All brands were written at their rated speed or higher, except the fujifilm 24X, which was written at 20X with the Lite-On. Beside that fujifilm was written at 20X only, Lite-on was on par and in most cases better than the Mitsumi. But we can't really complain on the Mitsumi since it wrote all CD-R discs at their rated speed or higher.

Excellent review! I personally own a mitsumi 4809, and although i do love lite-ons for their excellent EFM burning(i still have my lite-on 12x), the lite-ons in my opinion are not as solidly build as the mitsumi's. One thing i'd like to note is that significantly better burning times were noted when using NTI's cd software. NTI's clock stops right as the drive stops burning(avg of 3:50 burn time for 700 megs), while nero keeps counting all the way until the cd ejects. Maybe some day you can try using NTI's software in your testing. Btw, you guys have the best overall analysis of cd drives on the web... just my 2 cents....

Just one question: why don't you try to read also BAD discs, I mean discs with scratch, dirt and so on... I bought two weeks ago a nice Samsung SW-224. It seams that every horrible disc that I have (audio, CDR and also CDRW) is read as never before! Much better than the burners I tried before: LG 16x, Teac 16x, Artec 24x.
