From the MSDN documentation of get_MediaHeuristicallyBlank and get_MediaPhysicallyBlank, it is not clear what is the exact difference between these two. Can anyone please explain how both of these are different?

I was also looking for same difference but could not find one. What I learned is as below.
get_MediaHeuristicallyBlankIMAPI scans media to check if it is blank. This may be bit longer call.
get_MediaPhysicallyBlankIMAPI asks drive if the media is blank. Drive returns the status and IMAPI relies on it. This may be shorter call than the above.
In my application, I am using
get_MediaHeuristicallyBlankand I have no any issue.By the way, I work with C#; NOT C++. But IMAPI interface is same so that should not be an issue.
