So far I've understood that: - if media has defect repair (DVD-RAM, BD-RE) it will go half the nominal speed. - if you enable stream i/o somehow the speed you get is the nominal one - AFAIK stream i/o will not disable defect repair, so this protection will still be active - some firmware/media may not accept stream i/o So, if firmware/media accept stream i/o, what would be a good reason not to use it?
