Memorex D² External Recorder - Page 17

For checking exactly what the Memorex D² External reports, we used three different media, burned with other writers. The three media have been measured with the well known AudioDev SA300 DVD CATS system at 1X.

The drive is capable of reporting PI/PIF errors, so we will compare those measurements for various reading speeds:

• 3~8X CAV
• 2~6X CAV
• 4X CLV

Please note that the posted results are only valid for the specific tested Memorex F16 drive. Using other drives, even another F16, can produce totally different results. Be aware!

#1st Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 8X Reading speed

The PIF error rate trend line is similar to that of the SA300. However, the levels are different.

#1st Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 6X Reading speed

Again, error levels are different but PIF error rate trend line is similar to that of the SA300.

#1st Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 4X Reading speed

With these test discs, similar behavior was reported by both the SA300 system and Memorex drive, with PIF error levels increasing at the end of the disc. But error values were totally different.
