TOSHIBA External SuperMulti Drive
2. TOSHIBA’s Standards for Write Speed Restriction.
Standard 1: Write speed is downgraded for the sake of write stability, if
high-speed discs available on the market have particularly
bad properties data, or there are low-speed discs
available under the same ID.
Standard 2: Speed-restricted discs go through further examination
and adjustments later. If high-speed discs are available
under the same ID with as low-speed discs (currently
speed restricted), the speed restriction is removed when
the low-speed counterparts are no longer unavailable on
the market under the same ID.
You may experience lower write quality if you use discs made by
manufacturers not registered with the product’s firmware. Therefore, it
is recommended that you use only discs by recommended companies.
Even if the write session is completed successfully, check the write
quality before you put the disc in storage, especially in the case of
important data backups. (TOSHIBA is not responsible for any loss
resulting from data backup failures.)
We will update the list of supported media on a regular basis through
our firmware upgrades.
