Writing Quality Tests - 3T Jitter Tests

Here we examine the writing quality of the drive at the maximum allowed speed, 40x, using this time media from different brands.

- 3T Pit results

All media reported good writing quality, but we still expected a better one. Intenso media had an extremely high level at the end of the recording area.

The above graph shows the average Pit values for each recorded disc.

- 3T Land results

Mam and Intenso didn't prove to be the best combination with this drive. All the other media had acceptable jitter levels.
