Writing Quality Tests - C1 / C2 Error Measurements

The C1 / C2 error rate was measured for the same media used in the previous jitter measurements. The software used was Plextools v2.13 and the reader was the Plextor Premium drive.

• BenQ 52X recorded at 24x

• BenQ 52X recorded at 32x

• BenQ 52X recorded at 40x

• BenQ 52X recorded at 48x

• BenQ 52X recorded at 52x

• Memorex 52x recorded at 52x

Apart from media appearing in the graphs above, we checked the writing speed of other manufacturers media. However, the AOpen drive did not support 52X maximum writing with most of them. Plextools recorded low C1C2 error measurements with most of the above media, except for Traxdata and Memorex, indicating that the drive is capable of quality writing.
