6x -RW - Ritek W06
We tested 6x Ritek DVD-RW media also.
Only 5 drives could write and read the discs. The black sheep in this test was LG's GSA-4163A. Again, the PX-712A was not able to read any of the discs for PI errors.
We have created ZIP files of the screenshots that we have taken of the Nero CD-DVD Speed and PlexTools benchmarks. Feel free to click on the links below to download them.

Yup, it looks like you might be better off buying a last gen drive. It might take a while for the firmware updates that may improve these drives.From the looks of it, NEC and Pioneer are no longer the best drives. BenQ has that title now.
