LiteON SOHW-832S Dual DVD±RW Recorder - Page 19

For checking exactly what the SOHW-832S reports, we used different media, burned by other recorders. Those three media have been measured using the well known AudioDev SA300 DVD CATS system at 1X. Since all LiteON drives report only PI/PIF errors, we will compare those measurements at one reading speed (max). The disc actually read from 2.4X~5.5CAV. We didn't use KProbe v2.1.0 for the scan since all the times we tried, stuck at 50%, with ASPI/SPTI layer.

Please note that the posted results are only valid for the specific tested SOHW-832S drive. Using other 832S drives can produce totally different results. Be aware!

#4th Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - MAX Reading speed

The SOHW-832S certainly cannot be used for scanning DVD+R DL media since it reports much higher error rate than what SA300 series actually measured. Note that sometimes the drive starts reporting up to 1000 constant rate PI errors, not a good sign in our opinion.
