The Toshiba SD-M1802 with the latest Nero CDSpeed version can measure (scan) DVD recordable and re-writable media. Whats rather interesting is that the drive with a patched firmware can read DVD±R/RW up to 16X

For our tests we used a first test disc scanned at 6X, 8X , 12X, 16X, the average scanning interval is 3.50~3.70ECC (according to the used reading speed). Results at 4X will added later at the coming days

The SD-M1802 drive can report only (?) PI and PIF error rates.

Reference CATS scans:





* 6X CAV reading speed





* 8X CAV reading speed

* 12X CAV reading speed





* 16X CAV reading speed

And finally here is a table with all the major measurements, for an easy comparison between the various speeds
