Guessing this is a SATA drive mounted internally.
DMA OFF does not sound correct.
"Disc-at-once" means you are trying to burn 23gb non-stop which is
like writing a full track stretching from Great Britain to the
colonies - Blu-ray uses a blue laser (much smaller physical
wavelength) which is about four times faster than DVD red (infrared)
lasers.
DMA OFF means you are feeding it byte by byte instead of passing RAM
starting and ending addresses of a large buffer.
Start with test writing a 4.7gb DVD of even a 700mb CD and get that
working first with the Blu-ray burner. Try something other than
"Disc-at-once" to break up that single track into multiple tracks that
allows time between tracks to refill the data buffers.
Frankly, for 20 years, the solution has always been "more RAM", not
that 16gb RAM is always needed, but I know adding more RAM always
cured a lot of problems.
I watch "Windows Tak Manager" closely to see what Win7 has free RAM or
available RAM. Usually keep at least one computer running for several
weeks straight, but when some RAM hog program needs the memory, I
reboot.
