ok, I dont know how I came to that 2TB limitation. It looks like no SINGLE drive can exceed that without 64bit and/or a certain file system, E.G. G.P.T. Correct me if im wrong. I LOVE CRITICISM. I do.. REALLY!

I like all this "technical" talk but you guys should really try that link in my sig to continue this line of conversation. ;) Of course I'm sure that RedRob doesn't care but you silly buggers haven't posted a scan in quite some posts. :P
creaky.. just buy one.. they're great and for the $money$ can't be beat. :) Of course the most I've paid for one is about $25 which would be about the same as you quoted for the £pound£.
omegaman.. I've purchased quite a few ODD's from the EGG and never had an issue that I can remember. I've had to return a couple of items but it wasn't ODD's, one was a KVM switch that I returned 2 of and the 2nd one they kindly gave me credit to get something else. :D NOW SMS on the other hand did't do very well with ODD's in my experience. lol. The drives were just fine but the packing was sub-par to say the least. :P
Again I can recommend these ODD's with NO issues or concerns. ;)
Sony/NEC/Optiarc AD-7200S/A
Lite-On iHAS120/220
Lite-On 20A1S/P
Lite-On 20A3P/S (gotta have the "test" f/w imho tho)
Pioneer 116/216
LG (w/ Renasis chipsets... I can explain more if need be)
.....gm
add: lemme look and see what is available for cross-flash on your Sony's. I'm not sure of the models you have and they might take a cross-flash nicely. :D

I dont usually scan at 8x but it looks like a VERY reasonable scan. Infact I would call that good. :D

born2ride I would see that scan as good as well BUT does it copy from the disc. And if so I'm sure it plays fine in the stand alone player. ;)
My other question would be about the media itself. Is there an imperfection in the die or was there some dust on the disc? Actually there could be any number of things that could cause that "block" in the scan. A speed up when burning, imperfection (as already mentioned), dust, burn strat (but if you burned with the 20A1S I'm sure the f/w is good.... I have 2 or 3), flaw in the original data on the HDD. I'm sure there are more but as I see it if it plays fine on the stand alone and lasts for more than a year it's good! :)

Some people may find this interesting. This is a scan of an Industry burned dvd (Dvd-Rom). Ive scanned them before and was impressed, this time... ughhhh!! This recording dye is also the gold tone. Some of you have probably seen them. Ive noted that gold tone dyes dont always read very good. Meaning they rip slowly, especially when scratched. I suppose it is possible that the firmware and/or the drive is not optimized for picking up errors on these type of discs. They sure dont read well.

well now. I guess one of my 830's is still in the game. Well... as long as I burn at 4X anyway. I suppose through out its life, thats what its been for the most part.
Speaking of HBoy, anybody watched it yet. AWESOME!!!

Now I've reached that age, I've tried to do
all those things the best I can.
No matter how I try, I find my way into the same old jam.
good segway:
JAM. my LH-18A1P tray door will not open when i push the button it wont kick out. you can hear it trying to open up but it is JAmmed in there. every now and then it will open. any ideas on a fix for it?(replacement may be in order,7200A maybe,, real funny comeing from a jobless man huh.)
hell all those scans in my eyes are great. even the one born2ride has with the little grouping its nothing to worry about could be something as simple as a finger print on the disc. there is no other spikes over 2 so i wouldnt worry about it. as GM said can ya rerip from that disc and how does it play....
dang now i got Zeppelin stuck in my head gotta get out the boxset ad jam

Still working on the issues. I think they are just user error..Not being familiar with it. There was some steps I was not doing I think..
I normal just rip with dvd fab then shrink/nero .With that it just click and walk away.Nice and easy..
I think I was forgetting the transcode part.. I was just opening ripped file in imgburn. If it was main movie it fits. The whole disc would not fit..

OK guys. This is MOST curious. I realize this scanning software is mainly a guidline, but im seeing something very curious. The very first spike of PIF (as indicated) has exactly 104 failures. Ive mentioned it on the site before, but now its really in my face. Im seeing it too often to be considered a coincidence. Any thoughts as to why a spike would continue to be EXACTLY THE SAME. It almost seems like sabotage! Ok, Ok, im obsessed!

omegaman
that scan is perfect. your looking at it to closely if that first error was at the very begining of the scan everytime then i would wonder about it. but that is into the scan a bit nothing to worry about.. i think i might have met my match with these scans. someone looking at them as badly as i do..lol not maken fun of ya omegaman just stateing the obvious..lol
SERIOUSLY that scan is great. if you get tehm looking like that everytime you will not ever have a problem with them disc being read or reripped.
im gonna go back in the archives a bit and find a scan. i know it is exactly what you are wanting everytime... give me a bit and i will find it and post

VERY good scan. Ive had better, but thats AWESOME! I cant wait til my PREMIUM TY'S arrive. The writer I just bought is with 1yr replacement ROB. I scanned an industry burned dvd-rom quite a while back that had next to nothing for errors/failures. Gonna have to try it again. Well... I burned a disc at 4X with the 840. As you can see, I still have that FREAK lead-in. As well as the previous posted 104PIF spike. Well that tears it. This disc wont see another burnable! Im typing this as its scanning and just seen the spike of 7! WELL... I had better scans burning at 8X. Guess its true what I read. Its not always best to burn at slower speeds! This burner has officially flown south!!! I'll still use it as a ripper. Pretty hard to fail a read job, RIGHT? Ahh... Theres a flaw in the dye where the spike of 7 is.

The "block" is a grouping of spikes that create a solid block in the PIF area. If you look at omegaman's last scan you see a large "block" that is a concern if you ask me. :)

VERY NICE! Ive had a scan like that. I believe it was a verbatim though. Soon as I get my premium TY'S i'll post scans. I'm also curious about the WATERSHIELD TY's. :D

I think it has a lot to do with that particular drive. My NEC Based Optiarc got the best results at 8x, while my two Lite-Ons do best at 12x! I imagine the differences are Tolerances and calibration from the factory though.
