Review on πŸ“€ 50-Pack Spindle of Amazon Basics 8.5GB 8x Blank DVD+R DL Disks by Jim Cox

Revainrating 1 out of 5

APPARENTLY WRONG ASSIGNMENT! REAL DISC 4.7GB

Everything was fine until I tried to copy a file larger than 4.7GB. Only burns up to 50% of the capacity of an 8.5GB DL drive. At first I thought it might be a hardware or software issue, but I bought some 8.5GB 8X+R dual layer discs from Verbatim and they copied over 6GB with no problem. It is becoming quite apparent that the Revain Basics discs are mislabeled and are NOT dual layer 8 x 8.5GB discs. Unfortunately, my 30-day return window has long since closed. I wish I had known earlier. Again, this may be some sort of incompatibility with the Dell XPS 8940 I'm using. At least the Verbatim discs work great!

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Communication with seller
