ASUS BC-1205PT Blu-ray ROM/DVD Writer Review

DVD-R media compatibility and write quality

As with the +R media, for these tests we will be using either a Lite-On DH20A3P  drive along with Nero’s CD-DVDspeed to measure the disc quality. We will also be using the BenQ DW1650 along with Nero CD-DVDSpeed for our read-back tests.

Here is what we discovered:
