Price still RM400? Can do trade in with Sony BD-ROM drive ah? Plus topup some money if u want lah ...

Ok bro understand ... anyways, sent u a PM.

Bought the drive from seller yesterday together with a blank BD-R 50GB. Last nite after install, tested burn all my HD rip movies collection into the BD-R, but after waiting for almost 1 hour, Nero 9 comes out with the error Disc Writing Failed at 4x ... Already PMed TS about this, TS agrees to borrow me a BD-RE to test burn again, just to make sure that there are no problems with the drive. Will update again once a second burn session completed, but kudos / appreciation to TS for being trustworthy and not 'cabut from the scene' when buyer has problems with the device.

Okeh, so here is the update on the findings ...

Session 1 : BD-R;50GB
Write Mode : Closed Session
Write Speed : 4X
Software : Nero Express
Burning Time : 52 mins
Total Data burned : 47GB
Burn results : Nero reported that "Disc burning process failed at 4x" Eject the disc and reinsert, suprisingly, disc contents still readable, but 1 out of 21 files burned, cannot be read.

Session 2 : BD-RE; 50GB
Write Mode : UDF, Closed session
Write Speed : 2X
Software : Nero Burning ROM 9
Burning Time : 3 hrs 15 mins
Total data burned : 47GB
Burn Results : Nero reported "Data burning successful". Run verification tests, took an additional 35 mins to verify entire disc, but "Disc Verification Successful"

Session 3 : DVD+R;SL;4.4GB
Write Mode : ISO, Closed Session
Write Speed : 16X
Software : Nero SmartStart
Burning Time : 15 mins (plus verification)
Total Data Burned : 4.4GB
Burn Results : Successful. Data was burned successfully and passes verification tests.

Session 4 : Watching BD Movie; using PowerDVD 9
Read Speed : 4X
Frame Lag : Nil
Audio Lag : Nil
Frame Playback Res : 1920 X 1080; 60Hz
Notes : Watched an entire BD movie of The Rock (duration 1hrs 44mins) no noticable video lag or audio lag, drive does not produce any loud sounds during read, no frame drop or jitter during reading at high res.

Overall Evaluation : Disc burning failed on Session 1 could be caused by the Nero software. No issues of disc free space during the burn. When using Nero again to burn for Session 2, although it takes longer, but burn was successful. I conclude that this drive bought from TS is not faulty.

C'mon man ... get ur facts straight ... in the shops, u won't even get BD-R 25GB for RM25. Just checked out the price of a BD-R 25GB recently and it was RM55 a piece. TS is selling BD-R 50GB (that's dual layer, so u know) for Rm50 ... so u tell me which one is more expensive ... duh!
