After running the tests we see a 20 second speed difference between the LG and the Asus. When I ran the quality check both disks were 100% error free, so the quality was evenly matched. I ran a test to see how long it would take to burn an image in high contrast using the Asus drive. For those that are interested it takes 26.45 minutes to complete a high contrast image on a Light Scribe CD or DVD. I think we all recognize Carl the ninja hamster from Blockbuster, my avatar.
