hello

 

i just replaced my failing pio 116D with a plex px-870A. these are both IDE drives. out of habbit ive alway burned certain things @ 4x. since changing over to the plex ive noticed it does not burn anything slower than 6x no matter if its +R or -R ( at least with imageburn...have not check other burn sw). although i dont think burning things @6x as opposed to 4x would make much of a differnce....is there a way to force it to burn @4x or is this hard coded into the plex firmware and nothing can be done about it?

 

thanks

Look at the ImgBurn log for your burns and see what speeds you can burn your media at, or post a log and we'll tell you.

 

 

are you referring to this :

are burning speeds hard coded in the firmware? this same disk i was able to burn at 4x on the pio 116D

Speeds can be different between drives. These are the ones that the firmware/drive allows for in the above post.

 

(Speeds: 6x, 8x, 12x, 16x)
