| Verbatim MCC03RG20 @ 20X, New pacakge, made by Prodisc. Eww, this doesn't look good.

| Verbatim MCC004 @ 20X, new pacakge, made in India. This looks better, still not good though.

| Miflop TYG03 @ 20X. Nasty PIF spikes near the end

| TDK YUDEN000T03 @ 20X. Decent, but other writers do it better.

| Unbranded TTH02 @18X, made by CMC. No comments needed really.

| What kind of burn times are you getting OC-Freak? |
| Emtec CMC.MAG.M01 @ 16X. Not perfect either.

| Imation MBI.PG101.R05 @16X. I've still seen better with this media, but the result is acceptable.

| So far this seems to be a drive NOT to buy.

| Sony16D1 @18X And the horrors continue. Other drives can make perfect burns on this media at 18X

| Any chance for a transfer rate test on a nec drive? I would like to see if the drive would slow down near the end of the disc. |

I can understand media variances etc etc, but this drive just doesn't handle 20x writing any good at all.

Personally I (as many others) prefer burning quality over speed, and the time I might gain with burning at 16x, 18x or 20x isn´t that significant to sacrifice readability of the burned media in the long term. |

By the way the specs of H55* and H58* are almost identical. Anyone notice some difference ?

| This drive like a H55N 1.01 and 1.02 it should be better couple F.W update ![]() Not in US this drive ![]() and is it Panasonic chip ??? |
| In those german specifications I don't see 12x DVD-R write speed. So ... it should be Renesas chipset, but .... If there are some mistakes in specifications .... hmmmm. I thought H5x is Panasonic serie.
