Trouble with XDG3 using Sony AD-5280s-CB-Plus

[bumpcity76]

I've been having a tough time burning XDG3 disks.  My burns go off the deep end after the layer break.

Here's my setup:

Lenovo T520, i7, SSD hard drive, 8GBs RAM, Windows 7 x64

 

I first started using a Lite-On iHas 124 D with Imgburn 2.5.8.0 and MKM-003 and 001 Singapore disks.  I always burn in safe mode.  I tried every combination of setting in Imgburn and documented the kprobe results.  I got close a couple of times, but never got a burn within recommended PI and PIF specifications.  The drive is connected externally to my laptop.  I tried using a SATA\ESATA cable to my laptop's ESATA port, as well as the X360 USB Pro v2 interface.  I also tried all combinations in Imgburn with the source on my SSD and with the source on an external drive.  Always bad after the layerbreak.  I also tried disks from three different spindles.  Now, I just received a Sony 5280S-CB-Plus and I'm still having issues after the layerbreak, using default Imgburn settings (minus disabling burnproof).  After burning on the Sony, I placed the disk in the Lite-On for Kprobe scanning.  I can't figure out what's going on.  Could it be my laptop?  

 

Here's my latest Imgburn logs and kprobe results:

According to this, the burn is acceptable.  Why the big difference between kprobe and Discspeed?  Now, I'm more confused than before.
