2.4x +R DL - MKM 001

It has been a while since all of the drives have been able to write to a disc. Take a look at the results for the older 2.4x DVD+R DL media.

BenQ's DW1640 writes and reads the disc fastest at 918 seconds and 718 seconds respectively. Sony's DRU-720A writes and reads to the DL media at the slowest rate, at 1619 seconds and 1511 seconds respectively.

Toshiba has the greatest number of PI errors read on the disc, but still only in the 6-digit area.

    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.

    Doesn't look like ANY of these drives are worth buying with so many errors.

    SOD, DD. Rushed to market CRAP !!!

    "Special thanks to BenQ for supplying us with the DW1640."
