I don't disregard it, in fact I think Read Transfer tests are *more* important than PIE/PIF tests - they're just not as detailed.

I think that since we want to use RTR, because of the actuality of the test, among many for a review or as one revelant and single test, the features (sensitivity, speeds) of the drive used for the test have to be the same. This drive have to represente something as so-so (as Franksoy said) It's obvious that such choices have already been made by some users and especially by the «reviewers».
Except BenQ drives, NEC, and liteon LiteON SOHD-167T (with patched firmware, used in CDR-Info reviews), are there other drives that could fulfil RTR needs ? It would be nice to make out a list.  |
Any drive can be used to perform a TRT (TRansfer Test), but I prefer to use at least two different drives that are somewhat picky readers without being really bad readers.
My BenQ DW1655 and NEC ND-4551 tend to react negatively to different disc problems, so I usually use those two, but that still doesn't guarantee that the disc can be read in all other drives.
In fact I don't think it's possible to find a drive that can guarantee readability in all other drives, even if it's a really bad reader, and if you choose a really bad reader as your testing drive, you will be throwing out a lot of good (but not great) burns, so I don't like that testing philosophy myself.
