DVD+/-RW Media

Here are samples of the rewritable DVD media.

Ritek 008 (DVD+RW)

Ritek's 008 media is 8x +RW media, which performs at just that, 8x using the Z-CLV method. The drive remained at 8x about 80% of the time and finished writing the disc in just under 8 minutes.

8x +RW - Ritek 008 Write

8x +RW - Ritek 008 Read

8x +RW - Ritek 008

The PX-740A read back the disc, confirming a successful write, in under 6.5 minutes reaching read speeds just above the 12x mark.

Ritek W06 & MKM 01RW6X0 (DVD-RW)

The 740A, again, lived up to its specified write speeds, completing an entire DVD-RW disc at 6x speed in about 10.5 minutes using the CLV method.

6x -RW - Ritek W06 Write

6x -RW - MKM 01RW6X01 Write

The transfer test shows successful write and read speeds of close to 12.5x.

    Probably had some fixing up to do, cause they know we're picky about spelling and things like that.

    after looking at them they actually added graphs and stuff, so i see why they took it back

    Your missing the graph's on pages 4 through 7.

    I'm tired of AT mislabeling pages. This is like the 3rd time I see it happen in the last 3 months. :(

    STFU

    I swear some of you on here are the most perfection-centered people I've ever seen. Give it a break.
