Never ran the following test. Saw it posted a few times, and decided it was time. Not sure what some of this data means though. Looks good to me! This is a Valueline TY.
Hmmm... No spike in the 400MB area. The data burned came from a different harddrive. VERY INTERESTING. I may just benefit from dumping the harddrive in question, and starting over. This is a silver printable TYG02. Fun stuff. ive got well over 500gb on that drive! 15 hrs of constant burning... arghhh. Hmmmm... the fals 1TB drive is on sale at the egg.
omegaman7 - i think you take 'quality' scanning way too seriously now... replacing ODD's is one thing but a hard drive just because of some spikes on a graph ?.. Data is just 1's and 0's, and corruption is there or it's not. Defragging would be the order of the day here, but throwing away a hard drive on this basis is something even those scan-obsessed guys over at cdfreaks don't do edit- ..but please take note of my smiley, so don't feel too bad LOL ..
I appreciate your input, REALLY. But I dont take coincidences lightly. Something is causing the 104 PIF spike. It happens to often to be coincidence. If I can discover what it is, it could help others. RIGHT? And I wouldnt toss this drive unless it were getting the dreaded CLICKING sound. Its only 4months old. And its completely defragged thanks to SMART DEFRAG. I LOVE learning new things. I only hope that I can discover this SPIKE issue. I realize its not HUGE but... I GOTTA KNOW.
Ok. Apparently not the HDD. Though there are less failures in the area. ehhh... SO many variables. I used to think it wasn't much more than a transfer of data, Translated and written in Optical language if you will. I can see there is much more to it than that. MANY VARIABLES! TOO many to name in fact. Is there a utility that can compare (CRC) an ISO to a burned disc?
now looky at this sweet scan... this was scaned on the LH-20A1S @4x normal speed. it is the same disc i just did with the 7200S yes a 20x burn with results like this. makes me want to try some 16x-r TY's 32 total PIF's almost my best ever (19 total PIF's is my best) gonna do a CRC teston it now(scandisc) and here it is. this is what we want them all to look like....
im over at cd freaks right now. ill ask over there. i did the scan @8x id say the faster you did it and got 100% the better it would be?????
Me agrees with creaky, omegaman7 is a little anal retentive over these scans. if you can watch them with no issues and copy them, then they are GOOD burns. If you want to ditch the HDD and it's a SATA send it my way.
Your gonna have to pry this harddrive from my cold dead fingers, LOL This is the fastest harddrive ive had the pleasure of using. Unfortunately had I waited a few months more, I would have spent 100$ less.
This is a VALUELINE TYG02 Burned in safemode. Merely for curiosity sake! I hope to god, I never have to back anything up in safemode. It averaged a burn speed of 1.8x! My guess would be due to not having critical drivers loaded. None of the buffers would stay full. The log is pretty long so I wont post it. Apparently it worked out ok though!
Just another recent scanned of KUNGFU PANDA, not too bad considering that I've Nero Recode 3 customized to 4470MB. Now keep 'em pretty scans coming.
Ok darnit! How are you people getting the jitter to show? Is it simply because your drives support it?
It's because we're special. Nah.. not really. Click the "advanced" tab and select "jitter DVD" in the next "screen".... that should do it for you. ....gm
Well... Perhaps its not supported on this drive. I attempted to view jitter and got this error message! I guess i'll try it with the lite-on next.
