SE-208DB : Troubleshooting - Caution: possible errors

The write speed for a disc can be restricted if:

1.The disc has bad properties, or there are other discs with bad properties under the same ID.

The drive examines the disc properties to determine the best write conditions for the type of disc. Because the two types of disc have the same property data but different properties, it is often not possible to use the same settings. It is necessary to decrease the writing speed to make the writing more stable.

If discs from two different disc makers have the same writing speed according to the labels, but actually have different writing speeds, it is necessary to reduce the writing speed.

2.Samsung standards to decrease writing speed

Standard 1: If there are high-speed discs in the market that have very bad property data, the writing speed is decreased. This also happens if there are low-speed discs with the same ID.

Standard 2: Discs for which the speed was reduced, will be examined again. If low- speed discs are no longer available in the market under the same ID as a high- speed disc, the decreased writing speed will no longer apply to the high-speed disc.

Note

It is possible that you do not get good writing quality with discs from manufacturers that are not registered in the drive's frmware.

We thus recommend that you only use discs from recommended companies. Always make sure that the writing was successful before you put the disc in storage. This is very important when you want to store important data. (Samsung is not responsible for any loss caused by a backup failure)

Note

We update the list of supported media on a regular basis and make them available in our frmware upgrades.
