DAE Test:::...

Digital Audio Extraction remains strong though perhaps not particularly trail blazing. It's certainly no slouch and this combined with its other attributes is a minor shortfall, if you can class it as a shortfall at all.


Track 1

 


Track 12

Obviously track 12 can be read and extracted considerably faster than track 1 due to its location on the outer edge of the disk. More importantly no errors were recorded for either file.

Scratched Disk Test:::...

I have a beautifully scuffed and scratched copy of Joint Strike Fighter that gets used for this test and in this case I compared the read test from the CR52 with an Optorite DD0203 DVD-RW and Plextor's PX-W4824TA CD-RW.


MSICR52


Optorite DD0203


Plextor PX-W4824TA

The Plextor identified more damaged sectors than either of the other drives and it also struggled to read more sectors than either of the other two. With only 0.58% of the disk tagged unreadable the MSI actually come top.
