Writing Quality Tests - C1 / C2 Error Measurements

We measured the C1 / C2 error rate on the recorded discs we burned at the various supported writing speeds. The software we used is PleXTools Professional v2.16, and in particular the built-in Q-Check utility. The reader was the Plextor PX-712SA (firmware v1.05).

- Summary

The graphs show that the drive is an average in quality recorder with CD-R media and TDK needs to look into improving this aspect. There are C2 errors reported with certain discs that could be better. It should be noted that all discs were recorded at the maximum speed supported by the recorder.
