Review on πŸ’Ώ Verbatim 4 7GB Recordable Media Disc: High-Performance Storage Solution! by Paul Williams

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It used to be my goal but now it isn't, probably 1/2 coaster

I've been using Verbatim for years to back up my data. The last 100 box I bought resulted in probably 50% cradles, and yes I use slower write speeds. I've also noticed that many discs have a rough/non-smooth texture around the edges, which I've never seen on a CD-R before, which definitely looks like a manufacturing issue. Of course, since I only bought them as a backup, I didn't immediately burn a bunch of them and close the "return" window before realizing how wobbly they were. I read that Verbatim was purchased by CMC Magnetics which obviously does not follow Verbatim's quality control standards. For those of us who still like having reliable backup drives, I guess it's either Tayo Yuden or Bust at the moment.

Pros
  • Shipping was very fast
Cons
  • Not bad
