| Re: Optiarc AD-7203A Results & Discussion TYG03 (Verbatim) Burn Speed 18x Firmware Liggy's 101bt Now the AD-7203's turn for some burns. As good as the AD-7200.

| Re: Optiarc AD-7203A Results & Discussion Verbatim MCC03RG20 (CMC made) @ 20X. It's "ok" considering it's 20x I guess

| Re: Optiarc AD-7203A Results & Discussion And TDK YUDEN000T03 at 20x, sloppy drive decided to slow down.  Overall I'm very disappointed by 20x media support, I had expected TYG03 and MCC004, and maybe some of the genuine maxell discs at 20x too.

| Re: Optiarc AD-7203A Results & Discussion Premium 16x DVD-R, most likely made by Daxon with Sony ID. I suspect B grade or worse, but the result is great. Written at 18x too.

| Re: Optiarc AD-7203A Results & Discussion Emtec 16x DVD+R. Made in Malaysia? WTF? Had no idea that CMC had a factory there? Oh well, the result is great anyway.

| Re: Optiarc AD-7203A Results & Discussion Time for some fun! Faked media codes.... what will the drive do with these discs when the MID is supported at 20x? Disc1: MMORE 16x DVD-R, faked MCC03RG20 media code. Written at full 20x speed. Disc 2: unbranded (from www.dvdink.no ) 16x DVD-R, faked MCC03RG20. Written at 20x but with slowdowns at end. Disc 3: Premium 16x DVD-R, faked MCC03RG20. Written at 20x. This smells like infosmart manufactured media judging by serial numbers. The serial numbers on the discs are very different so I suspect all 3 are from different factories. The NEC did surprisingly well with this shit media.

| Re: Optiarc AD-7203A Results & Discussion More faked media, this time MCC004. Disc 1: Premium 16x DVD+R, faked MCC004 written at 18x but with slowdowns. Disc 2: NoName 16x DVD+R, faked MCC004 written at full 18x speed. Again surprisingly good results.

| Re: Optiarc AD-7203A Results & Discussion And last test I have done so far. BenQ 16x DVD-R made by Daxon. Another good result. This NEC drive seems to be an really stable performer that can do good even with lower quality media.

| Re: Optiarc AD-7203A Results & Discussion Ricoh 16x +R. The spike at the middle is probably some dust fragment on disc while writing it, nothing to worry about.
