Sony DVD+RW 4x

That’s another rare case in our practice: the seller and the manufacturer of this DVD-RW is one and the same company, Sony Recording Media Co.

It’s hard to find any faults with the quality of the written disc. The maximum number of errors is much below the ceiling as set by the industry standards. The total number of errors is small, too, while the stability of the surface of the blank is beyond doubt. This disc from Sony can surely be recommended for use.

The other rewritable disc under the Sony brand is actually manufactured by Ritek Corp.

The diagrams indicate that we’ve got another high-quality product here. The spikes of errors are much lower than described by the standards. The stability of the operational layer of the disc is beyond doubt, too. The total number of errors is rather small. Thus, this disc can satisfy any user who doesn’t need the highest speed of burning.
