BD-R 25GB 16X Blu-ray Recordable Media Disc - 25 Pack Spindle - 97457

I needed some BD-Rs for PS4 "testing" purposes and these were well rated and cheap enough. I was able to get 3 discs burned just fine, and the discs worked in the PS4. I was interested to see what color they were on the bottom since original CD-Rs were blue, newer ones are light green, and DVD-Rs are a purple blue. It turns out BD-R discs are....dark grey. A bit anticlimactic, I know. I was hoping for a really pretty Blue. Oh well, they were easy to write, worked in what I needed it to, and that's good enough for me.

I've used the Verbatim BD-R 50GB discs frequently for a couple years. They are quite reliable. There is an alternative “Verbatim” 50GB BD-R disc sourced from Japan. It's an all-white, printable disc that you will find on Amazon and other sites. They are temptingly priced at about half the cost of the Verbatim discs you see on this page. I bought a spindle of 100 discs on the bay and many were defective. After translating comments from Asian posters at Amazon, I see others found the same visually obvious problem: white smudges on the outer rim of the discs reflecting lousy quality control. The “verbatim” brand name was evidently licensed by a less assiduous manufacturer in Japan. The manufacturer part numbers for these turkeys: VBR260RP100SV1, VBR260YP50V1 No brand of media is perfectly reliable. From burning discs of various types for 20 years I’ve learned to burn at the slowest available speed. The time investment is worth it because the output has less immediate and long term failures. With Blu-ray, I’ve never seen burning problems with 25 GB, single layer format. The 50 GB, dual layer format fails occasionally even with best quality, Verbatim media. Always use “Verify” mode with your burning software – some errors are not detected during writing, but appear later on reading. I’ve used some of the budget brands of blu-ray media and they worked fine, but I’ve only tried budget brands with single layer 25 GB, and then only a small sample size. The test of a media brand comes with the more problematic dual layer format. It takes a lot of experience to figure out whether an annoying failure rate is coming from hardware, software or media. I expect there are many good software burning packages. I suspected that the burner within my DVDFab suite was a factor in producing errors with 50 GB discs. I tried Cyberlink’s Power2Go burning software and it cut down my coaster rate sharply. Power2Go is the most reliable software I’ve ever used, better even than the venerable ImgBurn freeware standard. I highly recommend Power2Go. I’ve used two quality external blu-ray burning drives, plus a low cost external drive. If you want top reliability with frequent use you must fork-out for the best external drive from ASUS or Buffalo. Any configuration of hardware/software/media has worked acceptably for me with 25 GB discs. For 50 GB I’ve found the Buffalo drive to be slightly more reliable than ASUS. More controlled, extensive testing would be needed to be definitive. edit: I see pioneer has just come out with an internal BD burner. A lot of people swear by that brand. Perhaps there are good internal drive options beyond what I've tested. This concludes my TED talk.

I have always preferred Verbatim or Maxell discs for long term use and storage. After thirty years those I burned are still 100% intact and data is perfectly readable without glitches. Never burned a coaster that was not my own fault. Never saw reason to change. Proper storage and care in handling is paramount for any disk. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

These Verbatim BD-R discs work perfectly for data backup and video storage. Writing speed is fast and consistent, with no errors so far. Great quality and excellent value in a 50-pack.

Firstly, Amazon's shipping of these spindles is awful. They will almost always come broken, and I suspect that the damage is passed onto the disks. The 50 packs keep having divots in the disks, but my 10 pack (unbroken spindle) and other disks (cased DVDs) are free of that defect. Please put a note for the warehouse to use a sane amount of packing paper to actually cushion these for shipping. I even did paid shipping for a new set after returning a spindle, and the box was even worse packed, just a flimsy useless bit of brown paper. That said, burned a 24.5 GB movie to a 25 GB disk, only took an hour in my Verbatim 43888 drive, burns at 6x. No errors, plays back fine on Linux. Like the USB connection. Can't wait to keep archiving. Wish the M-Discs were't $10 each even in bulk. These 25GB are less than a dollar each, way cheaper than SSDs nowadays, great for static data like movies etc.

Just what I needed for making a Hi def movie for my friend.

Excelente mídia! Incomparável com as porcarias genéricas, baratas e vagabundas que encontramos por aí. É caro, mas vale cada centavo. Nenhuma mídia deu problema, já gravei dezenas! Apenas comprem! É a melhor do mercado, uma pena não encontrar facilmente em lojas físicas no BOSTIL.

Rien à dire. Une boîte contenant des Blu-ray gravables (1 fois).

Every thing was good

Blu-ray disklerde Verbatim en iyisi sonra da HP

Most my BR discs for viewing have worked out very well
