TDK DVD-RW 4x

Sony DW-Q28A

The surface scan screenshot taken from the DVD-RW disc burnt with a Sony DW-Q28A drive leaves us no doubts about the excellent disc quality. The only issue worth pointing out here is the increasing number of errors in the end of the disc. However, even despite this increase the rates are still within the allowed ECMA limits.

LiteOn SHOW-1653S

The results obtained with the LiteOn SHOW-1653S drive are definitely not so appealing. The number of errors of both types has been exceeded noticeably. Again, we tend to blame the drive’s firmware for that.
