3T Land Results

The above graph shows the 3T Land jitter. The YAMAHA CRW-F1E has the lowest jitter in either 4X or 8X writing speeds (24.91ns for 4X, 26.79ns for 8X). The TEAC CD-W540E comes third with a 30.49ns and the PleXWriter PX-W4824A last with a 31.39ns (average).

Comparing the three technologies with the normal 4X writing speed, we notice that again YAMAHA's AudioMASTER 4X speed produced the best results (24.91ns). The AudioMASTER 8X speed gets the second place with 26.79ns, while the CRW-F1E's 4X normal speed had the same 3T Land Jitter as with TEAC's CD-W540E "4X Boost" (28.98ns). The TEAC CD-W540E 4X normal writing produced higher Jitter than the "4X Boost" and again, Plextor's VariRec +0 produced worst results than the PX-W4824A 4X writing speed.
