27. Summary
Verbatim 32x CD-RW
For one more time, the CDSpeed utility does not correctly recognize the disc as you can see in the image below. The specific disc is not a CD-R but it's a Verbatim CD-RW 80min 32x. The Samsung SH-B123L drive supports 24X Z-CLV writing for CD-RW. It's a little bit strange why Samsung kept the writing speed lower than the 32X, which is supported by most DVD burners and also matches the specs of Samsung 4X BD combo drive, the SH-B083L.
- Writing 24X Z-CLV
- Average Writing Speed: 23.26X
- Writing time: 03:58min
- Reading 40X CAV
- Quality
We measured the quality of the disc using Erik Deppe's Opti Drive Control software, since the Quantized iQB OMNI equipment does not support the CD-RW format:
The result seems to be good with no C2 (uncorrectable) errors reported.
