I don't think there is any as the media hasn't been around long enough for meaningful tests. I seem to remember magneto-optical media was the best but i don't think there is anything aimed at the consumer. Last encounter i had with MO was my syquest drive. Syquest are dead now though. Maybe someone will know if Jaz drives from iomega that are sold to companies are MO or something else.
