Erasable media have proved unreliable. In addition if you have a
HighSpeed drive (rated above 4x), you should not use media rated
for a maximum of 4x of less; they are not HighSpeed. You may get
apparently good results, but the error rate is likely to be high
and reliability will be low.

Yes and no. Your drive may or may not write to media of a lesser
type than specified, but the quality of the write is generally
much less than that for the specified type, which is often less
than you'd want to begin with.

I did not say that it would not work,

Those with max speed of 4x and 2x should be reserved

they will not work at all in UltraSpeed.
=====================


Double-check your data, though. There may be an UltraSpeed
drive which will write as slowly as 4x, but I don't know of it.

Do you ever see any C1 errors with CDSpeed on your machines?

I recall having seen C1 errors on earlier versions of CDSpeed,

but I have run tests on several faulty discs on a number of drives
and can find no C1 errors any longer.

Perhaps the program has changed;
perhaps my drives (Plextor and Pioneer) are to blame.

Unfortunately, I'm not running Plextools and therefore have no further
information to offer.

Perhaps the Plextor used to pull the C1 errors out of thin air?
Perhaps CDSpeed used to pull the C1 errors out of thin air?
Perhaps Plextools used to pull the C1 errors out of thin air?

Anyhow, how would you get the C1 errors when you don't even have

Subject: High and low speed CDRW - compatibility

Since i have Plex 8432 and i'm intend to buy Liteon 40 x or 48 x
i wonder: I have some 4x speed CDRW's - will i be able to use
(rewrite) them in new drive too or not (with 4x speed, of course)?
I've heard that 4x and 10x CDRW's are quite different.

They use substantially different alloys. You may be able to write
to the non-HS (4x) media at 4x, but the recording will be poor and
reliability will be low.
=======================

Do you suppose the burner makers are too stupid not to have considered
the 'substantial different alloy'?

Do you suppose the Power Calibration Area (PCA) locations on low-speed
and high-speed cd-rw are the same?

Do you suppose the 4x writing strategy for low-speed cd-rw is the same
as that for the high-speed cd-rw?
