Writing Quality Tests - 3T Jitter Tests

The same Nero compilation used in the previous jitter tests was used once again, this time with media from different brands. The recording speed was the maximum 40x in all cases. The following graphs show the 3T Pit & Land Jitter results.

- 3T Pit results

According to the results we took from the jitter measurements, Mitsumi performed very well with half of our media brands while with the other half the levels were increased. The Ritek, Maxell and CMC Magnetics are a very good combination with Mitsumi DW-7872TE recorder. The rest of the tested brands, Mam, HiSpace and Creation it is better to be avoided, in combination with this recorder.

The average 3T Jitter values for all manufacturers discs are illustrated in the following graph.

The jitter land values were almost at the same levels with this one of 3T Pit.

The average values presented below illustrates the drives recording ability.

- Summary

As we mention before some media brands can be burned better than others. This is natural since most drives are compatible with some media brands while are not with others. Maybe a firmware upgrade will improve the drives recording behavior with more media.

On the following page we check the C1 and C2 error rates for the same discs.
