I still have 4 (I think) maybe marginal discs left over from a large scale stability test of all my media (where I checked every disc I own) about 3 months ago. I am now going back over the most likely suspects to see if I can find them again (when I started the recheck, I had an NEC ND-3550-A and a Samsung SH-W163A) where I had defined any case where one drive found yellow blocks and the other didn't as "marginal." I am now trying to find these again, if I do I will post full ScanDisc, TRT and Quality Scan of any that I find.
