This is my first order of Smart Buy branded discs and so far I am very satisfied. I've burned about 25 video discs with no problems and the printing interface is very nice with crisp, clear and colorful results. I will definitely buy this product again. I'm currently involved in a project and have about 190 discs without a single stand. I believe write errors are often attributed to the drive when in fact it is hardware. I burn a lot of discs and over the years I have used almost every brand of disc and bought and worn out almost every brand of DVD recorder. The difference between a cheap burner and a quality burner like the Plextor I currently use is the average number of drive failures. However, there are also differences in disc quality and consistency between brands. I have no idea who makes these Smart Buy drives, but the quality and consistency is second to none I've ever used. /26/2020 Update: The latest batch of discs received has a significantly improved printing surface. This improved finish feels more like a satin finish than a matte finish, yielding much richer colors and more detail.
