- Overburning Tests

Using Nero, we saw that ASUS CRW4012A and LiteOn LTR-40125/Cendyne Lighting III can overburn up to 99mins.

- CD-Text Results

We created several AudioCDs with CD-Text enabled. All tested drives can read/write CD-TEXT without any problems.

- 8cm Media Tests

For this proposed we used a 8cm RW media and we burned up to 185MB. None of the tested drive had problems writing/reading from the 8cm disc.

- CloneCD Writing Tests

CloneCD v3.3.4.1 reports that all drives support the DAO-RAW feature. We performed our usual tests and we confirmed that both drives support the DAO-RAW writing mode at the following CD protections: SafeDisc 1/2, LaserLock 1/2 and SecuROM 2 CD protections. ASUS CRW4012A can write up to 32x (not sure about 40x because we only had 2 pieces of Acer based media) and LiteOn LTR-40125S can write up to 40x:

- SD2 Support

For the SD2 test we used the "No One Lives For Ever", "Max Payne", "Serious Sam - The Second Encounter" and "Medal of Honor Allied Assault" game titles. We used each drive both as reader/writer at the maximum reading/recording speed. The produced backups were tested with various DVD-ROM and CD-ROM drives.

* No One Lives For Ever

The "No One Lives Forever" is protected with the SD2 v2.05.030 build. Cendyne/ASUS/LiteOn drives doesn't have any problem to produce a perfect backup.

* Max Payne

The "Max Payne" has the SD2 v2.30.033 build protection. Again the Cendyne/ASUS/LiteOn drives produced perfect backups.

* Serious Sam - The Second Encounter / Medal of Honor Allied Assault

Both "Serious Sam 2" and "MOHHA" have SD2 v2.51.021 build protection. The produced backup with the Cendyne/ASUS/LiteOn worked in all the tested drives without any problems:

As the test results showed, all drives can backup any SD2 of 2.x-2.51 builds. Plextor PX-W4012A cannot produce perfect backups of SD2 v2.51.x builds.
