	CD #1 Burned @48x:


	No test done on the Plextor Premium since it doesn't support 48x writing to CD-Rs. The test down on the LiteON 48125W is pretty horrid! We can see not only C2 errors being reported, but also chunks of unreadable sectors! You'll notice that the errors stop rather dramatically around the 65min mark. This is because of a problem on my end, which caused my drive to slow the burn speed down at that point. As it turns out, burning at speeds faster then 40x using a burner connected as a slave, does not seem to work very well! I apologize for this mistake, and will endeavor to make sure it doesn't happen in the future! However, I believe we still have enough data provided from this test to know that this disc did NOT burn well at 48x on the LiteON 48125W!!

	CD #2 Burned @40x:


	Here we have two completely different results! One of these is completely usable, and the other is likely to fail at any given moment! The Plextor Premium obviously has the advantage with this media, although I should point out that although the burn began at 40x, the Plextor Premium's Power Record technology switched the speed to 32x about 2/3rds of the way through the burn process. The LiteON however burned the complete disc at 40x, however in my opinion, only succeeded in creating a coaster!
