Club CDFreaks - Knowledge is Power - View Single Post - Is a TRT test a valid way of testing the readability of a disc?

@SeanW: you had me re-testing 29 marginal burns and cross-check TRTs vs. Scandisc for each one of these discs. This took some time, and explains why I come back only now.

Well, I could not reproduce something similar to what you posted. The TRT has (as usual) been the pickiest of the two in these cross-checks.

I think we would need to know exactly what CDSpeed reports as "damaged sectors" in Scandisc's read test before going any further... and I don't know! Until now, I thought it was slowdowns that were marked as yellow....

I'll do some research, and if I can't find an answer, I'll try asking directly Erik Deppe. Of course, if someone around knows this, well, welcome!
