Review on πŸ“€ High-Performance Optical Quantum OQDPRDL08LT 8X 8.5 GB DVD+R DL Double Layer Recordable Blank Media - 50-Disc Spindle: Featuring Logo Top for Added Branding by Larry Blanco

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very low success rate 140/200

With 200 discs I have a 30% failure rate. This is unacceptable and I would give it 1 star but given the price you could argue that you can still get more DVDs. Tried Verbatim DataLifePlus drives and still not 0% failure, but that spindle of 50 is $70 too. So if you have a copier and can afford the time to reconstruct bad discs, technically for about $60 you can get about 70 usable DVDs of that brand, so maybe you could justify that. Then the question is how long will they be playable? I will probably switch to Verbatim so that I have less work and more confidence in the game in the future. I should add that after changing the read/write speed to 1x, I've had a 70% success rate with them.

Pros
  • Compatible with DVD+R DL drives from Sony, Philips, Lite-On and other leading manufacturers. Ideal for archiving home videos
Cons
  • Other Other
