DVD+R/-R Double Layer writing performance and quality

DVD+R/-R Double Layer writing performance and quality:


The Plextor PX-LB950SA supports the DVD+R DL/-R DL standard for writing Double Layer/Dual Layer discs with a size around 8.5 GB at a writing speed of 8x.

DVD+R DL:

For these tests we used Opti Drive Control to burn our test disc. We then used a Lite-On iHAS624 along with Opti Drive Control to test the disc’s quality; we then finally ran a read-back test on our Optiarc AD-7240S.
