CD #5 Burned @8x:
CM 40x 99min Burned @8x Tested @8x
CM 40x 99min Burned @8x Tested @40x
 
At first glance it almost appears as if this media performs better when burned at 8x, then it does when it is burned at 12x. However if you take a look at the test run at high speed on the same disc, you will see that the quality of the burn is significantly lower then that of the disc burned at 12x.
 




 
CD #6 Burned @4x:
CM 40x 99min Burned @4x Tested @8x
CM 40x 99min Burned @4x Tested @40x
 
I think it is safe to say that burning this media at 4x is a bad idea. We see here a significant rise in C1 errors being reported, as well as a small surge of C2 errors! I also find it interesting that in almost every test so far, the media showed a large increase of C1 errors right around the 90min mark. I think perhaps this media would function much better if only 90min worth of data was burned onto it!
