Writing Quality Tests - Page 2
We tested the drive with a variety of other media in order to check the writing quality performance. All media were burned at the 40X (Z-CLV) recording speed.
- 3T Pit results
As we can see from the above graphs, the 3T Pit Jitter exceeds 35ns RED book limit for almost all media except from the CibaPlasmon 48X. The SKC 48X seems to produce the worst results, while the Verbatim 48X media will perform well until the drive enters the 40X writing speed. The Fuji 40X media also performed well until the 76min, where it suddenly reached the 38ns. Below are posted the average values for all tested media.
- 3T Land results
The 3T Land Jitter is similar with the 3T Pit results. The CibaPlasmon 48X produced the best results, while the SKC 48X the worst. Below are posted the average values for all tested media.

The results with various 48X media are at least interesting. The media that worked best with the PX-W4012TS comes from CibaPlasmon and is rated at 48X. The specific media produced the lowest 3T Pit&Land values and didn't exceed the 35ns limit. The SKC 48X doesn't seem to perform well giving the worst results. The Fuji 40X was a good performer until 78mins, where the jitter value reached the 38ns.
