It seems to depend on media quality. TheWizards thread is even more valuable now.

For 52x writing:

The best I've tried is 48x Fuji (TY) there was very little difference in the C1 error rate between 48x & 52x.

Next I'd use Verbatim 48x (Made in Mexico). The C1 rate nearly doubled from 48x to 52x, but it was still acceptable. You will never get a C1 error free burn.


Great review Ian!

I agree, I was just pointing out though that the LiteOn is beaten on speed. But yes, I'd still favour the LiteOn over the Artecs/Aopens etc of this world.

For my TDK drive and 48x Fuji Media, the difference of the C1 errors between 48x and 52 burns is very, very small. I think it was between 2-4, so there's really not too much of a difference, but I'm happy to leave it at 48x.

I agree. LTR-52246S 6S0C firmware.

Here's 48x Fuji burned @ 48x:

C1 error 5

now the 48x disc burned @ 52x:

C1 error 7

hardly a difference at all.

Jase, I meant in the realm of what cdrlabs.com has reviewed thus far. I have not seen (or at least don't remember seeing) a review of the Artec.
