Writing performance DVD+R/RW

 

DVD+R/RW Writing performance:


The specifications of this drive tell us that it should write DVD±R at 18x, 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 along with CD-Speed for our read-back tests.
