34. Conclusion - Final Total Score

The next media comes from Maxell 16X DVD+R with CMC MAG M01 (000) media ID code.

All tested drives recognized the Maxell 16X DVD+R media.

The Cocopa ECD813-Y (TSSTcorp SN-208AB) reached the first place with 5.81X average writing speed. After the burn process, we tried to read the burned disc with the same drive and wrote down their average reading speed.

The Pop-up (Optiarc AD-7560A) has the higher reading speed with the Maxell 16X DVD+R with 5.97X... After many hours measuring all discs we have our burn quality results.

The drives with the lowest PIE/PIF error rates are expected to get higher score points even they burn slower a disc. After all we all want perfectly readable discs.

With the Maxell 16X DVD+R media, the HLDS PortableDVD (HLDS GP96Y) managed to produce the lowest error rates among all tested drives so it got the first place with 7.95 points!
