hrm... do I hold off the review another month to retest everything??

[Ian]

I'd just restest the more problematic media.. not all of it.

err... that WAS all of it

Ok, not true... I distinctly remember about 1/5th of the media tested working at the proper speed AND having a good quality burn.

The review at cdfreaks made the drive look pretty good. However they don't test media like the dolphin . Personally I think the drive should get its best representation.
