How to know if you have a good or bad drive and media?
We implemented a feature in VSO Inspector, our free diagnostic and reporting tool, with which you can request the average success rate for the inserted media, and the success rate in the drive you are using.
1) Download VSO-Inspector from our download section
2) Select the drive to diagnose from the top combo (NEC 4550 in our example)
3) Select the Media tab
4) Insert a blank media (a Ritek05 DVD-R in our example) and wait for the media to be recognized
5) Press the Query Database button (be patient our server is overloaded, so it can take some time).
You will see #1 the success rate (94.1%) and the number of reports for the media inserted
#2 the success rate (99%) and the number of reports (509 samples here) for the media burnt with a NEC 4550.
