Problem What to Do
Disk “writes” are
slow
• Is write verify enabled? The verification pass increases the
write time.
• Is the environment dusty? If you are not having the same
problems with other disks, you may want to clean the disk.
See “Cleaning Disks” at the end of Chapter 2.
• If cleaning does not correct the problem, further information
may be on the optical web site at
