WIN---The burn did not quite reach the maximum of 16x speed
LOSE---The maximum speed should have been 8x but it only managed 6x for some reason
WIN---The graph is acceptable as good just rising a little from 2.5gig
LOSE---Although the graph is within the good limits the error rate is sustained at the higher rate for longer
WIN---A good read speed graph
LOSE---Erratic readings at both the start finish of the scan
WIN 21 --- LOSE 6--- EQUAL 3
WIN 6 --- LOSE 21 --- EQUAL 3
The test results show that all the burns were acceptable with no bad results. There was difficulty in reaching & sustaining 16x burning, and some of the results were just within the limits with some erratic speed reading curves. None of the discs failed with the reading and playback was ok in a variety of players. The blue top TTH02 CMC media comes out best at 21 to 6 but both these brands produce acceptable burns and apart from the burning speed issue should not present any problems
