CD #3 Burned @24x:
CM 40x 99min Burned @24x Tested @8x
CM 40x 99min Burned @24x Tested @40x
 
As you can from the above graphs, there is not much difference between testing this disc at high speed as opposed to low speed... unfortunately this isn't actually a good thing! The average C1 error rate being reported by K-Probe is disturbingly high! If you look carefully however, you will notice that the upswing of errors really begins at about the 90min mark. I wonder if this is going to be a regular occurrence?
 




 
CD #4 Burned @12x:
CM 40x 99min Burned @24x Tested @8x
CM 40x 99min Burned @24x Tested @40x
 
Here we see a major difference between the high speed and low speed tests, we also see a general improvement in the overall quality of the burn on this media when it is written at 12x. I would say that at this point the media should be usable, but I wouldn't call it reliable. Let us see if this increase in quality continues as we lower the recording speed again.
