But, what about using a gold USB cable?
Surely the quality of the power filtration must make a difference.
And, what about the SOURCE of the power? Wouldn't discs be more reliable
if the drive is driven by solar power, rather than nuclear?
Vibrations are an obvious culprit. That can be easily proven by
beating on drums on the table where the drive is. The burning should be
done in an acoustically sealed environment.
Light leakage mmust also affect it. All burning should be done in total
darkness, although some claim that a #10 safelight should be OK.
