TDK 52x Rated discs

[Spazmogen]

Has anyone tried them yet? These are the 1st 52x rated discs I've seen on a store shelf.

I've seen TDK having varying results with the LTR-52246S drive.

i wonder if the verbatim 52x are good quality

Spaz,

The ones I picked up were made by Ritek.

ATIP Leadin: 97:15:17
Nominal Capacity: 79:59:70

They're not the best discs I've used, but they're pretty good for Ritek.

What were the rates of the av./max. c1/c2 errors?

Varies depending on the writer. Here's a WSES screenshot of a TDK written by Samsung's new 52x writer:

Hmmm...the TDK 40x discs here have the same ATIP.

Works good at 52x at the end of the disc

BTW, the serial no on one of my discs is L406JS.... I read on Taiwanese forums the prefix ("L") represnets the plant and JS represents the dye used. They mention latest Ritek phtalocyanine discs use RS dye

Hi Spazmogen--I got one of those TDK 52X CD-R discs with my TDK 5200B rebadged LiteOn LTR-52246S. Of course, it has the same ATIP and capacity reported by Ian. When burned @52X on my rebadged LiteOn LTR-52246S, I had the following results:

C1 Min: 0 Max: 10 Ave:0.801
C2 Min: 0 Max: 0 Ave:0.000

From what I've seen, that's not bad for a Ritek made disc. It's not TY or Verbatim/Mitsubishi Chemical Super Azo quality, but its certainly passable. Even though the quality of these appears to be OK, I would stick with the Fuji 48X TY CD-Rs or the Verbatim DataLifePlus Super Azo 52X CD-Rs (pictured above) if you wanted to burn @52X. These TYs and Verbatims are just much better, if you ask me. Especially the TY media--it is the best.

I forgot to mention one thing--the largest concentration of my C1 errors with the TDK 52X disc I have is at the end of the disc. I burned 73 minute 54 second of data onto that TDK 52X disc that had the C1 rate of Max = 10, Ave: 0.801.

RS? I thought that indicated Ricoh dye?

The S is generally not any indicator of dye type; it's the L (or J or H etc) which determines the type of disc.

I'd be very surprised if the latest discs were type R. Strange that
