    Verbatim MCC03RG20 (CMC made) @ 20X.

    It's "ok" considering it's 20x I guess

    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.

    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.

    Emtec 16x DVD+R. Made in Malaysia? WTF? Had no idea that CMC had a factory there? Oh well, the result is great anyway.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Ricoh 16x +R. The spike at the middle is probably some dust fragment on disc while writing it, nothing to worry about.
