I've yet to do specific tests. So far it has read everything i've put into it (regular stuff that usually is in good shape, so that dosn't mean much).

Interestingly this has not been an issue with SL media and never an issue either with any other drive i used. Maybe there is a problem with software being able to 'lock' the drive while using it?
