DVD+R/RW Writing performance

   

The specifications of this drive tell us that it should write DVD±R at 12x and DVD+RW/-RW at 8x/6x. In this part, we will measure the write time for various types of DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW discs. We will also focus on write quality and media compatibility.

 

DVD+R media compatibility and write quality:


In these tests we will be using a Lite-On SHW-165P6S with firmware MS0P along with KProbe to measure the disc quality. We will also be using the Optiarc AD-7173A with firmware 1-01 along with CD-Speed for our read-back tests.
