Testing Setup

Ad

We came up with a few tests and made each product jump through a few hoops in order to see what kind of performance you can expect from them. Due to the fact that they are different types of products, we were unable to complete all of the tests on each unit. The PM-1 is not able to write to CDR/ CDRW media, so, it was unable to be included in any of our writing tests.
