Post your DISC quality scans here 2

There are good Gigabyte, ASUS, DFI, MSI, and Intel boards out there Oman7.. just do some research and don't look in the building thread here... they only LUST after Gigabyte and you may not get a good recommendation for something else. LOL.

GOOD LUCK MATE!!!

 

hope all had a good holiday. mine was most excellent. enjpyed my time with the family and relatives.

as for my 20A4P. im gonna lay her to rest i cant get it to burn anything now but it does still scan i just did this scan on it. burnt with my 7220S


pretty good burn i think seeing it was a Xvid and i converted it to dvd format and burnt with imgburn. oh yea its on one of them sweeeeet TY's lol 8x-r burnt at 8x.

 

well i think im set for hdd for the time being.
just got my 500gb seagate back from RMA. entire new drive. plus i just got the rewards points from dell and ordered a WD1001FALS. minus rewards points it only cost me $38.99. gotta love that. not sure if im gonna install it when i get it or wait and put it on the new mobo. might be about the same time anyway. im only gonna run 3 hdds(250,500, 1tb) and 3 sata burners. yup that means i have to get me a 3rd sata burner. still havent made up my mind if its gonna be a BR player or not. got a couple burns im gonna do tonight when i get home so i might post a scan or 2 tonight.

 

1. U suk!!

2. How you get dem points?

3. 1TB drive? Man I just bought one but it cost $79.99 delivered.

4. BR player/reader? I'd look at da ASUS at da EGG. It's an external and that might come in handy.

5. Get dat new MOBO and get to work!! hehehee. I want you to get a BR reader/player too.. I wants to know how you do with it. :O

6. Happy New Year Robert... I was j/k about the U SUK part! <|~

 

hey you want/need a 500gb segate 32mb cache hdd?

 

Are you serious?? What's wrong with it? hehehee.

 

yes im serious. nothing is wrong with it. still in the box.

 

The only thing wrong with it is it's a Seagate.

 

greensman,

Not a whole lot before it "Bricks"!

The failure rate of the Seagate, is why I picked the Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s drive for a Christmas present from a good Friend. I looked the two drives up on the net, and it didn't take me long to ask for my first Western Digital drive in over 5 years. It was no Contest! The Newegg numbers tell the tale
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136320
It's Quiet, runs Cool, and it's Fast! Not as fast as the FALS, but still plenty fast enough. Now that I can split the load of DVDRB/CCE rebuilds over three drives, it cuts 2 to 3 minutes off of every rebuild. It seems to work best with the program running on my boot drive, the Output Folder on the second drive and the work folder on the 500, which is the fastest

 

well ya wont hear me bash seagate. ive never had a bad drive from them. the reason this one got RMA'd is prolly cause of my own doing. i have a total of 11 seagate drives and not 1 has failed on me.4 of them are almost 6 years old.
i have only had 1 wd drive thats my GP500gb that i have now. and no issues with it. and the WD1001FALS is on the way i should have it tomorrow. if the snow storm allows ups to run tomorrow..lol

here is a nice little burn. i used nero to create img and then scan. burnt at 12x and scanned at 4x on the AD7220S all done on this drive.

 

just got the new WD1001FALS drive in... but come one HDD manufactures. i buy a 1tb drive i want 1TB of space not 931gb after winblows takes its share... just like the tax man....lol


with my 4 drives in now i have just under 2tb of space(1863) time for some (torrent)fun.

I just got some disc. cheapy's 11.99 for 100ct. the name brand is "VALUE DISC" thats it...lol they got the haze on the top of them kinda looking like windata's without any writing on them.
here is what the code out as

here is the CRT of this burn and then the scan



got me wondering here. it wouldnt burn past the 6x speed. i had it set for 12x. it went up pass 8x and droped down to 6x. i amdoing another burn on my 7200S and it is burning fine at 8x... i am wondering if im haven a issue with the ide controler on this board. my 20A4P wont do anything any more and now the 7200A is haven issues.. it could just be this is a new media for it and haven issues there??

EDIT:
here is the one i just did. disc 2 disc useing anydvd/clonedvd2(still the best combo there is) burnt on this valuedisc media. @8x no issues. plus the scan looks better. actually pretty good for CMC MAG. yea i know dont lash me BlivetNC(friends dont let friends burn CMC MAG)

 

Rob, Have a read
1Tb = 931gb. I have 3 1Tb drives. What it amounts to is binary classification, and the industry takes advantage of it for marketing means. At least that's my opinion on it.

 

LMAO.
OM7 i know. ive read that once or twice.. its just the point of it. come on 69gb lostcause winblows and the hdd manufactures cant get there act together for us people that keep them singin "Oh Happy Days" lol

as Travis Tritt once sang lord have mercy on the workin man....

gonna try real hard to get the UD3P mobo here within 2 weeks. i want this board out of my hair. i hate it...lol ill slap my E8400 oc'd a little to 3.2ghz and let the boys have it to play COD and what ever on it...lol

 

I thought Joe Ryan had taught all of us that CMC Mags were not the plague. I won't hesitate to buy them at a cheap price. I almost wish Office Depot had gone to them rather than the Ritek F16 although I haven't had issues with them either.JM2C

 

Indeed. My CMC MAG's are ok(DataWrite). I haven't had a coaster with them yet. But I don't use them very often. And I only use them on good burners E.G. Lite-on or Optiarcs.

 

LOL... it's just the way Windose sees it.

NICE storage RObert. I've gotta do some "cleaning" to make room for the new stuff going into my puter soon. I'll be adding 1.5TB within the week I'm sure but I have so much to clean and arrange it'll take me WAY more time to get ready than it will to "format and install".

Geez... I'm behind... you fellas posted some stuff while I was messing around and I didn't realize it. I've used a few of those CMC MAG M01's and they are ok but as Oman7 said you gotta use a good burner to do it. My friend had some sort of Philips external and it was TERRIBLE with those discs!! All of the ones he backed up for me while I was teaching him how to burn have gone "bad"... only 3 I think. I have the Ben Hogan lesson DVD's somewhere and haven't checked them... I'm worried now...

 

@greensman

I thought we all had good burners? LOL

I guess I'll have to go out and find a 3TB drive just to up the ante. Don't we have enough gadgets yet, LMAO

 

Here's a couple of scans

Ritek F-16



Verb MCC RG20



While the Ritek's appear to do a better job, their quality is maddeningly inconsistent! It just seems to be pot luck, whether you get a good one or not. Some were so poor I threw them away! The verbs? These will be my last -R DVDs. They take forever to address in any computer. If it's a slow computer it takes over a minute to address the DVD! The +Rs are much better quality DVDs.

I may have one more go at -Rs, because I haven't used Yudens in a while, and they don't seem to have any +Rs. Anyone care to comment on these, or recommend something better, feel free?
