ANSWERED Results with kprobe2 change with high hard drive activity?

[silentjrm]

I hope i dont get in trouble for starting this topic. I actually wanted to comment this in a thread where this topic started but still have a noob account so ill post here....

Ive made backups according to XGD3 quality guidelines in the sticky under iHas MAX Firmware support:

OPC off, OPC cleared then power cycled.
FHT - ON
OHT - OFF
OS - OFF
SB - ON

But i have 2 questions:

1 - if i alternate between on and off under OS will this reset the burn strategy that SB uses?
I ask this just in case i go from mkm003 to mkm001

2 - Does high hard drive activity lower burn quality?
I ask this second question because i noticed when i try burning more than 1 game, (i currently have 4 burners) i bought them as backups since they were discontinuing them, and also so i can use them all with different settings to compare. But i noticed the settings listed above give me great settings with each, BUT when i burned 4 backups at a time with these settings i noticed that kprobe2 yields bad results. Is this because i have more than one burning at a time? I dont get "waiting for buffers to recover" messages in the imgburn log.

Im not asking if i can burn 4 games at a time, then id look like im burning for people, im asking if i should be concerned about high hard drive activity when burning. if not, then why did kprobe2 yield bad results when burning 4 at a time, but not when burning 1 at a time from each drive?

Ive also tried burning from different storage devices, and results were better, but still not within recommended quality guidelines.

1. Yes, the strategy for different burn speeds is different, however, if you retain the same speed it is likely to remain unaffected as you effectivly have not changed the settings, only the setting area.

2. No, once the data hits the drive the firmware takes over, so your bad kprobe results are probably because off the settings you are using, even if your buffers did run dry with burnproof in place this would not effect the drives ability to burn a quality disc.

I will try burning at least 8 consecutive burns, and see if it learns a strategy. Thank you for commenting, it was actually the sticky you started that i was referring to in the first post

XBC log file by any chance ?

 

[meads1970]

didnt think so

Like i said im just comparing burns with these 4 drives. I only need one. But when i set all 4 to same settings the burns seem to get off track and not going good like when im just burning one. I was wondering if i was wasting my time doing it like this. 2 of these burners are actually for my friend of mine who backs up his own game and always has dodgy krpobe2 results. I want at least one backup burner since they are discontinued.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

and what will happen when ur "freind" gets his two drives back and puts them in his machine ? you think they will have the same results they had in your duplicator tower

I figured something like this would come out of me mentioning that i was testing on 4 drives. I did not think the settings here would work on his build, im just seeing what settings would work on mine. But it seems as so from what your saying that it wouldnt even work even if i tried different settings on all 4 drives. So ill go back to doing it the long way. Just testing on one drive. Im using battlefield 3 by the way, i ripped the game using my x360usbpro v2 with xbox backup creator. But my questions are answered so thank you guys. Next time ill try not to make myself look so "dodgy"

Next time ill try not to make myself look so "dodgy"

maybe next time you will wanna show a XBC log file and ABGX too
