I have been using DataSafe 8x Plus, Which are MCC03, or rather, were. They are now CMC, so I decided to try DataWrite MCC03. But burns are horrible though.
They are both the same code but why is there such a major difference?
The first is DataSafe media and the second is DataWrite.
The DataWrite burn starts off really well, max of 20 PI but then after a gig or so it shoots up. I’ve tried firmware of E and R and both do the same. The DataWrite scan is on E.
Are they fake?
Can you post a scan of your old DataSafe Plus?
Have you tried HS0K?
Probably the best 811s firmware for +R
I tried K on the DataSafe but I don’t think it was good.
How would I be able to tell if they were fakes or not?
Here is a datasafe scan. BTW, this is the best one I’ve ever done.
there aren’t any fake MCC003…
have you reset learnt media? tried a test-burn after that?
Here is a rip I did with the K media after resetting the learnt media.
I’ve even bought an LG 4163B which write exactly the same to this media.
Bad batch of media, I think. both drives show the same results.
Try patching your drive FW with “force Fallback” using Omnipatcher.
I had similar results at the outer edges of MCC003 discs with my 832S untill I patched the FW with the “Force Fallback”. Now my results with MCC03 are excellent. Only added a few seconds to total burn time, but the results were excellent!!
