For example here is what you can find for 2 of the « good scanners » after Dee’s article:

Plextor PX-760A:
« PX-760A vs CATS - Page 1, 2, 3 & 4 »

The conclusion of each of the 4 pages:

Lite-On SHW-16H5S (firmware LS0W)

Conclusion of each of the 4 pages :

So could know somebody explain to me
if these correlation tests are of any value in order to decide if a scanner is better than an other one or not ?
In other words may I use a burner that has a bad correlation test
as well as a burner with a good correlation test ?
I would put more trust on drives giving error counts closer to CATS.
