The CDR-Zone has finished yet another comprehesive DVD-R media test. This time they have tested the TDK 16x DVD+R media (Media ID: TDK-003-00). Their results show decent, but not spectacular results.

We found the TDK 16x DVD+R media to be a very consistent media offering a reliable and very good quality solution. All of our review recording devices achieved 16x recording and even the Plextor PX-716A produced a 16x recording to one of five tested pieces with the Power Rec feature enabled. Any Plextor users will understand how rare this achievement is with 16x recordings on this drive with Power Rec enabled. During tests with the Power Rec feature disabled very contrasting results where noted with some very good and some very bad discs recorded. Therefore we recommend leaving the Power Rec feature enabled for this media. The PxScan tests showed that the recorded pits where of a very good shape and well centered with most devcices showing next to excellent results. The KProbe results quite high total PI Failure totals compared to some 16x media we have reviewed but nothing that would give playback devices any problems and all transfer tests carried out on the NEC ND 3540 where completed without any issues.
