CyQve 2400PLUS DVD+RW
8. CDR Tests
CDR Tests
We tested the drive with latest version of Nero/CloneCD. CyQ've 2400Plus supports the 2X, 4X, 8X and 12X writing speeds. For all the recording tests, we used slightly more than 80min data (80:01:47).
- Recording Tests
CyQ've 2400Plus finished the task in 7:19 min. The recording time result is very close to Philips DVDRW228, and Ricoh MP5125A is 5 seconds faster.
- Writing quality
We used Mitsubishi Chemicals and Taiyo Yuden media and burned them at 12x with CyQ've 2400Plus. We used Nero 5.5.9.6 as a CDR software. The produced CDs, were measured from DigitalDrives and results are illustrated in the following tables.

The produced writing quality is high. Notice that the C1 error rate at the 12x recording speed is lower for the 74min media.

- CloneCD Writing Tests
CloneCD
reports that the drive supports the DAO-RAW feature. We performed our usual
tests and we confirmed that the drive supports the DAO-RAW writing mode at the
following CD protections: SafeDisc 1, LaserLock 1/2 and SecuROM 2 CD protections.
SD2 Support
For the SD2 test we used the "Emperor: Battle for Dune", "Max Payne", "Serious Sam - The Second Encounter" and "Medal of Honour Allied Assault" game titles. We used the drive both as reader/writer at the maximum reading/recording speed. Unfortunately, the produced backups did not work at any drive we tried to. With CloneCD v4.x "Amplify Weak Sectors" setting this can be overpassed.
