Verbatim DataLifePlus BD-R 25GB 16X White Inkjet Printable, 50 Pack

Been using Verbatim Blu-ray discs for several years as the Sonys were getting hard to find and quite expensive. These seem to work fine if you have a good optical burner. I think the only defective ones are some I caused. Waiting to see about the longevity, the oldest recording I have is about 4 years ago.

I facilitate corporate backups that absolutely do not intersect the internet, whatsoever. At a whopping 100GB capacity, these discs are the best value in town. Safer than SSD and more reliable than HDD, these can really outlast traditional magnetic tapes as well. Current tech does not allow for fast recording speeds but I accept this deficit in favor of the capacity and longevity, hands down!

I search for, and pay a premium for, non-organic dye that is more stable and presents greater longevity. I hope this Verbatim product number 97339 is still that. This is the one product number of the Verbatim blu-ray lineup that DOES NOT SAY "LTH" (low-then-high) so, I trust that this is not the cheaper organic product. I trust that this Verbatim product number 97339 is still IN-organic dye I expect to be in the package and that it uses "HTL" (high-then-low) write strategy as a result. The color of the dye is shiny silver. That's a good indication. Used to be "HTL" was all you needed to know to get the good stuff. However, I think I have seen some blu-ray discs lately that have a purple tinge under light reflected at an angle and that would indicate somebody out there is tainting non-organic dye with organic mixes to make it cheaper. To top it off, it seems that to cover-up the issue, those tainted mixes seem to be able to cope with HTL write strategy even though they have some organic dye in the mix. So, LTH and HTL don't really tell the full story any more. I wish Verbatim would step out ahead of the pack and label these as IN-organic if that's what they are. I think they are. I hope they are! Sometimes, I need discs with the stability, longevity, and universal compatibility of the non-organic dye discs. I trust that's what these are.

I only buy Verbatim-brand discs for their reliability and longevity when creating the master archival backup discs for my clients' digital work product. I have been around since 2006 and have been using Verbatim brand discs for as long as there has been a choice to be made. I have yet to go back to an archived Verbatim-brand discs and had any issue with loading, data integrity or data retrieval. I cannot recommend them strongly enough.

I needed these BD-R XL 100GB discs for data backup, so I ordered a 10-pack and burned every disc at the slowest available speed. After burning, I copied the data back and verified it using PAR2. Out of the 10 discs, one was completely unreadable, and another was partially defective - one of the 10 files I burned to that disc could not be read back. The remaining discs and data were verified without issues. The 20% failure rate is disappointing.

Great , Good value (1/2 price of local mail order offers) came quickly, no Bad disks , 1/2 way thru stack. One bug , but probably my old gear is the fault. I'm using an Old LG GGW-H20L All disk created work although it gives an error creating the disk directly in Pinnacle 19.5 on win7 but no error writing the same BD image saved to disk up to a new blank disk from that same stored BD image later? Either way both methods seem to create usable disks, cant find any shortcomings playing either. That LG BD writer is about 4 -5 years old and so is the PC and I had done all possible firmware updates to the drive and the PCs Motherboard. These are apparently made using an older style of manufacturing which is suppose to have better compatibility in older drives according to one of the reviews. It seems to be true. I had tried newer BD writers and other new media combo's before that were all not recognizing , so these really saved me from upgrading everything!

When it works it works great, however I have at least a 80% fail rate with these discs. Always an unknown error, error code 0xeb020be2. I utilize an LG external Blu-ray and DVD writer with updated drivers and manufacturing date of December 2024. I have not had any problems with this disc drive on any other format. Likewise I've had a 25 gig version of these discs from the same brand with a fail rate of 30%. So it seems that they have faulty discs

I will ONLY burn DVDs or Blu-rays with Verbatim disks (and I love being able to make a professional-looking label on these inkjet-able white-top disks). But Verbatim is my brand, period, just as Sandisk is my brand with memory chips. I find that to fairly reliably burn disks, and not get coasters, you have to 1. Turn off your connection to the internet. 2. Turn off your Virus Protection. 3. Turn off any other app or program that tries to access the internet on a regular basis 4. Close all your software 5. Set the burn speed a good two notches (if not more) below the MAXIMUM speed the disks you have can write at. You have to be patient when it's burning, but isn't the higher success rate worth it? 6. Turn off any screen saver you have that kicks in automatically. Then burn your disk. The QC on Verbatim is the most important piece of the puzzle. Yes, occasionally you get a bad disk, but only very occasionally.

Me encantaron, todos me salieron bien, los recomiendo 100%

40 Des 50 bluray vierge étaient défectueux, une honte pour la marque Verbatim !!!

I have never had any problems with these discs and always buy them rather than any other type. They are very expensive but you get what you pay for.

Buon prodotto, molto capiente, ad un prezzo molto contenuto, peccato che la velocità in scrittura sia solo a 4x.

I've had lots of these discs fail on me and so can't recommend them. I was down to my last two, which I planned to use to backup some music files. The first one burnt fine, whereas the second gave a write failure about half way through the burn. Trying to read various discs previously burnt has also failed. I wouldn't buy these again!
