6x -RW - MKM 01RW6X01

We tested each drive with 6x DVD-RW media...

6x -RW - MKM 01RW6X01 Write

Each drive seems to write to the media successfully and below, we see that each drive can read back the discs as well.

6x -RW - MKM 01RW6X01 Read

When it came time to read the discs for PI errors, our PX-712A unit would not even see the MKM 6x -RW media. This is a possible incompatibility with the drive, which we will investigate in the future.

We have created ZIP files of the screenshots that we have taken of the Nero CD-DVD Speed and PlexTools benchmarks. Feel free to click on the links below to download them.

    Yup, it looks like you might be better off buying a last gen drive. It might take a while for the firmware updates that may improve these drives.

    From the looks of it, NEC and Pioneer are no longer the best drives. BenQ has that title now.

    Doesn't look like ANY of these drives are worth buying with so many errors.

    SOD, DD. Rushed to market CRAP !!!
