6x -RW - Ritek W06

We tested 6x Ritek DVD-RW media also.

6x -RW - Ritek W06 Write

6x -RW - Ritek W06 Read

Only 5 drives could write and read the discs. The black sheep in this test was LG's GSA-4163A. Again, the PX-712A was not able to read any of the discs for PI errors.

We have created ZIP files of the screenshots that we have taken of the Nero CD-DVD Speed and PlexTools benchmarks. Feel free to click on the links below to download them.

    Yup, it looks like you might be better off buying a last gen drive. It might take a while for the firmware updates that may improve these drives.

    From the looks of it, NEC and Pioneer are no longer the best drives. BenQ has that title now.

    Doesn't look like ANY of these drives are worth buying with so many errors.

    SOD, DD. Rushed to market CRAP !!!
