I tried at 2x with both plugs connected for max power but it still freezes a ton in the middle. I really do think I’m gonna buy verbatim off Amazon. In the IMGBurn forums a trusted mod responded to a mans post who is having the same issue as I am and the mod linked him a post that he did all about the issue. He basically listed a couple brands that he considered “cheap” media and that you would have issues with. Ridata was one of them. Iv tried all options and I think the discs are the true issue.
