Drive: LTR-52246S, 6S0C 700 MB image file,
SmartBurn doesn't know who made this media:
This Disc is designed for CD-RW/COMBO Drive Only.
Disc Type, Material = HSCD-RW, Phase Change
ATIP Lead-in = 97m 25s 31f
Norminal Capacity = 702.83MB (79m 59s 74f)
Disc Manufacturer maybe = Unknown
SMART-BURN Speed Limit = 24X

Both Nero and CDRIdentifier recognise it thusly:

CDR Identifier:
ATIP: 97m 25s 31f
Disc Manufacturer: InfoDisc Technology Co., Ltd.
Reflective layer: Phase change
Media type: CD-ReWritable
Recording Speeds: min. unknown - max. unknown
nominal Capacity: 702.83MB (79m 59s 74f / LBA: 359849)

This media performs no better than much of the Highspeed media that is around, and worse than many. CDSpeed shows numerous C2 errors, peaking at several hundred near the end. WSES shows much the same thing as CD Dr.

I would not recommend that this media be used for anything important. It may get by for every day short-term transfers of non-critical data, but considering the excellent performance of the Verbatim 24x media, the extra 50MB of space hardly seems worth the risk.
