Thanks for sharing your opinion ThaCrip, and thanks dbminter for pointing out what MCC stands for. Honestly it was just luck that I purchased them cheap, and they turned out to be the best quality. €5 is nearly nothing for 20-30 of them. I will try burning them in the drive that (sometimes) fails and if that doesn't work, I will probably buy a new drive. Just out of curiosity, has anyone of you had their drives replaced because they stopped working? How long did it take for the old drive to break? And how often did you use the drive? I don't use the drive very often, on average 3 discs written a month and 4 read. It has worked for about 6 years. I just hope that it will still take 5 years before it is definitely broken. Sorry if my English isn't perfect. I try my best, but sometimes I just misspell a word. Feel free to correct me on any grammar issues.

I've run out of the following DVDs: DAXON-AZ3-00 Are they any good?

Coincidentally, I had bought a new stack of DVDs from a (un)used products store. Just figured out a company I've used for years has switched DVD ID's quite frequantly. Is MCC-004-00 any better?

Sorry for the question but why does everone say that CMC discs are bad? I found forum posts from 10 years ago stating the same, but never found any other explanation besides that they have bad quality. Is there any article about CMC discs and why they are so bad? Also I have two drives, sorry for removing both my Virtual CloneDrive (BD) and physical drive (also BD) from the log. Didn't know which one was which and just thought it was confusing. The BD drive is fine, with the exact same media type. The question still remains: Can it even be the SATA cable?

Hello, I've been using ImgBurn for the past 7-8 years and never had any problems with it, until recently. I've had some issues which started after moving a dvd drive to another PC. I've had the DVD Drive from before 2016. Here's the model: Samsung SH-224FB/BEBE 24x SATA I've built the PC myself (actually my brother did. I couldn't even replace RAM inside a PC xD) and was wondering if perhaps my DVD Drive was old enough to replace or if it's just my new/old SATA that's causing issues. Every once and a while my DVD Drive has these errors "0x02". Sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't. Some forum posts stated that it's either a really poor quality DVD, or the Drive is malfunctining. My question is quite simple, whats the most likely culprit? The Drive or the SATA Cable? I don't have any new SATA cables lying around, and just thought, I might as well ask if it's even worth buying any. Here's the log if it's needed ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 started!
