Review on πŸ“€ Smart Buy 10 Pack BD-R DL Printable White Inkjet 50GB 6X Blu-ray Discs - High Capacity Blank Media for Data & Video (10-Discs Spindle) by Dean Love

Revainrating 5 out of 5

They work great but require due care.

The problem of burning BDs, DVDs and even CDs goes back decades. Once burning begins, it cannot be stopped. If the computer can't transfer data to the disc while it's writing, you've created a cup holder. When creating a "stand" the problem usually lies with the media, the optical drive, or the computer itself. When buying cheap untitled media (no offense to the seller), you have to make some concessions to ensure a successful recording. 1 - record at the highest possible speed. This helps increase the chances of success and also increases the durability of the data you write.2 - Close all other windows on the desktop. Let the recording application take over the entire computer.3 - Wait for the recording to finish. Use the blinking I/O indicator on the optical drive to see if recording is in progress.4 - Use common sense. If the first 3 discs you burn turn out to be studs, you can rest assured that the remaining 7 will be the same. Try something else as suggested above. I had 1 coaster from the set I bought here. I broke one of my own rules (#2) and the override was successful. I burn these discs at 2x speed and with error correction enabled the drive switches to 1x speed. It takes forever to burn through 50GB, but at $2 each, there's not much room to play with. I hope someone finds this useful.

Pros
  • Build trust
Cons
