Writing Quality Tests - C1 / C2 Error Measurements

We measured the C1 / C2 error rate on the recorded discs we burned at the various supported writing speeds. The software we used was PleXTools Professional, and in particular the built-in Q-Check utility. The reader was the Plextor PX-712A (firmware v1.05).

- Summary

CD writing quality varies, since the drive performed well with some media and very badly with other. Traxdata media reported C2 and CU errors, making the disc virtually unreadable.
