In order to test the writing quality and readability of the burned media, we used two readers with two software applications:

In general, a "perfect" disc should have a smooth reading curve, very low PIE/POE and zero (0) POF error rates. Most times however, even though a disc has very low PIE/POE error rates, the reading curve may not be smooth containing dropoffs. Due to the fact that we oversped the reading capabilities of the LiteON SOHD-167T, such drops are expected, especially near the outer area of the disc.

12X DVD-R Writing Speed

• Datawrite 8X DVD-R @ 12X

• Verbatim(MKM) 8X DVD-R @ 12X

- Summary

While the Datamedia disc was not unreadable, the overall performance isn't the best. With Verbatim media, we had a really good graph and a good plextools scan.
