Snowboy Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 The BD-RE write speed is only 0.8x with my new PIONEER BD-RW BDR-207EBK drive; it shoud be 2x. The read (verify) speed seems fine (10x max). Any ideas what might be the problem? Log files attached. Many thanks.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 That disc has been formatted with 'spare areas' enabled. When that's the case, the drive's 'defect management' kicks in and basically verifies the disc as it burns - hence the slow down. You'll have to do another full erase/format on it to get rid of them and turn it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowboy Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Erased the disk and now writes at full speed! Many thanks for your help, you learn something new every day. PS where does it say in the log file that a disk has 'spare areas' enabled'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 It doesn't... but I can tell from the number of available sectors. The 'Hardware Defect Management Active' line should say 'Yes', but a little cosmetic bug in 2.5.7.0 means that it always says 'No' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
