I like darry's research as at least said something where many of us found out thru experimentation and forums. I still do not use CDRW media because it is just not worth it... imho.
Per "Can a 4x CD-Writer write on 12X CD-RW" I should have added long ago that not all CD burners can write to CDRW media, you got to check the specs 😀
added: to test my CR burners I just burn a cdr blank and see if it works, who really cares if it writes cdrw blanks? sorta like testing the light scribe function, is only one aspect of a good drive that is rarely if ever used anymore 😁I agree.
TBH, I don't care at all about a vintage optical drive's ability to write anything, except maybe old(er) media for which newer writers might not have an optimal write strategy.
My main use case for writing CDRW is not wasting CDR media and I have plenty of modernish writers that handle at least 12x write speeds on still readily available CDRW media.
I don't see the point in writing CDRW discs at 1x-4x speeds. Life is too short.My 2 cents worth of an opinion .
Sort of like writing a DVD at 4x 😁 Ohh maybe I can do some laundry and cook dinner and then see if it's done yet ? ;p
