Review on πŸ“€ Maxell MAX639013 DVD+R Recordable Media, 16x, 4.70 GB, 50 Pack Spindle Silver by Justin Jeppi

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Maxell's DVD manufacturer. consistency has become unstable and quality control is almost non-existent.

I disliked the stress and hard work involved in trying to format/prepare their DVD+R MaxData discs and faced many formatting errors that the product failed due to inherent deficiencies and errors rendered unusable. inconsistency of their productions. The process is evidenced by multiple shaded/striped areas on or near the outer edge of the disc's recordable side, most of which are often formatted and recordable, while most discs have non-shaded/striped areas and are unformatted or prerecorded. Other erroneous evidences are the presence of scattered white and iridescent blurs, which cannot be formatted or written, are not supported and lead to multiple error messages. Of the last 150 DVD+Rs I've worked with, I've only found 33 usable discs and many long, frustrating, useless hours of testing faulty products to see how best to get them to work. The final, terrifying part of the process has to do with struggling to return faulty product, get a replacement for an unreliable product, or get a refund while contemplating what to buy next. Maxell used to be the epitome of sound carriers. what happened to you
