Media Tests - Page 2
All CDs burned under the same capacity (80:01:47) with Nero 5.5.1.8. We burned the same amount of CDs for all tested drives. Especially for the Yamaha 2200E and Ricoh MP7200A there are 2 results. One with burning monitor quality system -JustSpeed- "ON" and one with "Off". For the 2200E the "OWC" means "Optimum Writing Control". Those settings can be turned of/off whithin Nero.

Test Results Conclusion:
Again the tests results showed that all drives need specific media in order to get their maximum performance. Again the Verbatim's 16x certified media seem to perform better with our 3 contesters.
