Like the Plextor 708A, NuTech DDW-081 and Sony DRU-530A, the MSI DR8-A had trouble recognizing poor DVD-R media for write. Do not expect to burn on DVD-R discs that do not have write descriptors. Our DR8-A would not even report "ready" on several no-name DVD-R discs that had burn just fine in our Pioneer 107D.

On page 2 you say the access time is one of the highest but in the chart on page 8 it is actually one of the lowest?
