OK Drage, you force me (again) to be more precise...

What I refer as "negative" in the case of transfer rate tests (that's just the way it is in my book): anything that is not a perfect reading curve. Which obviously includes reading failures, but also any speed dips. What I'll call a "positive" is a perfect reading curve, not less. Nowadays there is no reason to accept anything else than a perfect reading curve in any drive. Once again, it's just in my book, but I'm of the opinion that it's legitimate.

So when I meet speed dips that aren't related to actual problems during the reading of the disc, but are just odd reading pauses due to the drive itself, I'll call it "false negative". I've met lots of these with my successive Benq drives (1620, 1640, 1650).

Hope this clears my point.

I won't add further comments on the subject of TRTs as it would only be (more or less) paraphrasing your own input.
