lurkist Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Hi, I'm using an Optiarc 5260s, SATA - UDMA mode 6, to burn data from a storage HD on IDE also UDMA mode 6. (I would use my SATA HD, but it won't go beyond UDMA mode 5 and is annoyingly and inexplicably slower.) As you can see from the graphs I'm getting device buffer underruns regularly causing slowdowns throughout the burn, even at low speeds - the program buffer doesn't move a nanometer and I'm dubious as to whether it's doing anything at all! I'm also having audio troubles with this burner - having no analog outs I've no option but to use digital and it seems to crash various things such as Realplayer. Media used in these two examples are - (Single layer) TDK +R 1-16X, and (Dual layer) Aone +R 8X. No I havn't tried Verbatim media yet (but will be for my next batch if they do printable versions) but it doesn't strike me as a media related issue. And no, I havn't got a log to show you as yet. No other programs are running, and antivirus is temporarily halted. Thanks for any suggestions. Edited January 22, 2011 by lurkist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 It could just be some sort of WOPC functionality (i.e. the drive testing the quality of burn so it can adjust the laser power as it goes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurkist Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) I guess so. At the end of the day, the disks are verifying OK so no harm done. I am getting the odd power calibration error at finalisation stage, but this I am putting down to media. Guess I'll have to put up with icicles dangling off my graphs! Cheers for the help.
