Review on πŸ“€ Verbatim BD-R 25GB 6X Blu-ray Recordable Media Disc - 3 Disc Jewel Case Box - 97341: High-Capacity Blu-ray Recording for Optimal Storage by Luckie Davidson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Complete garbage. 9 coasters with 10 spindle packs. And I've been using Verbatim for many years.

I have been using Verbatim hard drives for 20 years. From CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R/DL, DVD+R/DL and BD-R/DL. I stayed with them for so long because they have always been the most reliable writing medium and also had a durability unmatched by cheaper brands. So far I've used Verbatim dual-layer BD-R discs, which came in 3-packs in jewel cases. I've burned about 30 or so with no problems with the disc. This 10 pack spindle I just received on Monday is completely useless. Only ONE of the entire pack was successfully fired. Another was almost finished but failed to retreat. Most others failed to write on layer break while others experienced various session crashes. Whether I've tried 4x or 2x, same result. The only disc I left in the jewel case burned out with no problem. I was about to think this might be my drive, but decided to go with a smaller brand instead. I have purchased 10 spindle 50GB Plexdiscs which are identified as RITEK-DR3-000 in Image Burn. The work is impeccable and costs about $10 less per spindle. To say I'm disappointed with Verbatim at the moment is an understatement. I've stayed with them all these years but it broke the deal for me. I know I might get a bad batch but I don't want to risk it again.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Communication with seller
