VerbatimBD-R 25GB 16X Blu-ray Recordable Media Disc DataLifePlus White Inkjet Hub Printable - 50pk Spindle - 97339

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.

Quality DVDs! Verbatim DataLife Plus are the Best!Spend the extra money to get these. They are worth it!

UPDATE:Though failures were due to discs, but after switch burning software from Mac Disc Utility to Toast 20, no issues, no coasters.ORIGINAL REVIEW: Not sure if this was a bad batch, but 4 out of 10 discs failed verification. At 40%, that's a pretty steep failure rate. Now it could be my writer (Pioneer BDR-XD08B) or it could be my Mac computer using Disc Utility software, so I can't say for sure that the discs were the problem, but this was my experience.I will order another batch of these 10 discs and see if there's any difference. If i keep getting fails, I'll try another writer (if I can get one) and/or I'll try a different writing app (like Toast). And if I get better results using these discs with other systems, I'll be back to let you know.

I've ordered this product before and the quality is excellent. The packaging and shipping on the prior order was also excellent.First a little about my PRIOR order. Each cake box in the prior order was wrapped in bubble wrap and extra padding was included in the box to secure the product. I believe this was from an independent seller hence the care taken to ensure the customer's products arrived in good shape.The CURRENT order was for 2 50-disk cake boxes and this was from Amazon. The shipping box arrived crushed, the cake boxes were broken, and the disks were loose inside. The only packing material in the box was two air pillows, which were broken. Thus the cake boxes were rolling around loose until the air pillows broke and after that the disks were loose. I estimate I lost about 25% of my disks due to scratches. I was out of the country for several months when this happened so this is my first opportunity to provide feedback.Disk quality is excellent. Beware of packaging from Amazon because it's terrible. Buy from independent sellers whose rating is good.

No coasters and all content good

They work. Plain and simple. Not sure what else to say.

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've burned several of these discs without any issues. I use a Pioneer BDR-X13U-X which is a fantastic burner/player. No coasters, I will buy more of them.
