DVD Recording Test
The drive is capable of 16X speed for both the DVD+R and DVD-R formats, while
according to the specifications it can also burn DVD+RW at 8X. DVD-RW is still
at 4X.
Since this is a preview of the drive, we only burned one DVD+R and one
DVD-R media at the maximum allowed speed of 16X. Notice that both media we
tried
are certified at this speed. Unfortunately, there are no DVD+RW
media available at 8X so we couldn't confirm this speed.
The writing strategies are illustrated below:
The writing times for the two media we burned are below:
Mitsubishi Chemicals 16X DVD+R@ 16X ( MCC 004)
9:14 minutes is not a satisfactory time for 16X recording.
Is it the media or the firmware? We will answer this in the upcoming, full
review.
TDK 16X DVD-R@ 16X ( TTH02)
