TOSHIBA’s Standards for Write Speed Restriction. 

Standard 1: 

Write speed is downgraded for the sake of write stability, if 

high-speed discs available on the market have particularly 

bad properties data, or there are low-speed discs 

available under the same ID. 

Standard 2:

 Speed-restricted discs go through further examination 

and adjustments later. If high-speed discs are available 

under the same ID with as low-speed discs (currently 

speed restricted), the speed restriction is removed when 

the low-speed counterparts are no longer unavailable on 

the market under the same ID. 

You may experience lower write quality if you use discs made by 

manufacturers not registered with the product’s firmware. Therefore, it 

is recommended that you use only discs by recommended companies. 

Even if the write session is completed successfully, check the write 

quality before you put the disc in storage, especially in the case of 

important data backups. (TOSHIBA is not responsible for any loss 

resulting from data backup failures.)

We will update the list of supported media on a regular basis through 

our firmware upgrades.
