I have a lite-on SHW 16H5S at the moment which i use for dvd scanning and cd burning.

| Seeing is believing, so here are some scans of exactly the same CD.

| Hi, Dragemester had exactly the same idea as me  Drives used here: Liteon SOHR-5239V (CD/RW drive) @Promise IDE Sony DW-G120A (same as Liteon 165P6S) @USB Benq DW 1650 @ VIA IDE (I can also provide scans taken with Samsung SHW-163A) Disc #1 - degraded Tevion branded Prodisc Interestingly, the Sony does not increase read speed beyond 8x with that disc |

| Disc #2 (Platinum branded CMC MAG, written a few days ago) Strange behaviour by Sony  |
Posted: 23-05-2006 - #5
| Disc #3 (TY, branded as Verbatim Pastell, written a few days ago) My first 100% scan |

| So, what drive do you want to trust? It seems, as if the Liteon CD/RW delivers similar results as the Benq. But from you sig I see, that you own a Plex - can you use that drive together with Plextools? Michael |

That drive is a generation younger than my PlexWriter 16/10/40A which cannot perform C1/C2 scans in PlexTools, but I'm guessing that C1/C2 scanning is only supported on much newer drives, such as the PX-7xx and Plextor Premium series.

| Na tried the plexwriter 24/10/40 but it does'nt do the scanning tryed with cd/dvd speed some time back. Was hopeing to see the plex primium 2 come out here in the uk but that could be some time, so i was thinking of grabing a Lite-On SOHR 5238S cd writer for error scanning which looks like thats what i might do as i have some old cd-rs i want to check and ether using it or my 16H5S for cd burning. From those scans seems a lite-on cdwriter does well, from drages scans i can see that a lite-on dvd writer is way off.
