The next disc from the same company is rated for 8x burn speed. It’s hard to find any fault with this blank, as the summary table suggests. Almost all the samples of this disc are of high quality. The only exception is the blank written by the LG GSA-4163B: the maximums of PI errors and failures as measured by the two test programs is a few times more than recommended in the ECMA specification for high-quality discs. We couldn’t even test the medium in Nero CD-DVD Speed – the program would hang up. But this must be the drive’s fault rather than the medium’s. So, the NEC ND-3520A and the Pioneer DVR-109 perform better than the other two drives with the TDK DVD-R 8x, while the LG GSA-4163B is the worst here.
