Verbatim VBR260RP50SV1 Single Recording Blu-ray Disc, BD-R, 50 GB, 50 Sheets, White Printable, Single Sided, 2 Layer, 1-6x Speed

High quality ones. Works well.

I have always brought my Blu Ray media from Japan as they offer dramatically lower per GB and disc pricing than the UK Amazon provides. Blu Ray media is much less prone to burn errors than DVD+/- Media and has a much denser capacity. I also cannot easily buy DL discs in the UK as only single layer 25GB discs are plentiful. I can halve the number of discs and amount of space needed with DL discs. My recorder cannot use any higher than DL discs and they provide the best cost per GB pricing. These discs work great on my DMR-BWT850 Blu Ray recorder as well as my ASUS BD-RE Drive. I have set my PC drive to burn at the highest reliable speed and I have had no issues with burning/reading these discs. My recorder has also not had any 'coasters' as of yet. In the lifetime of the recorder, I have had very few BD discs fail to burn and Verbatim discs seem to be the most reliable BD discs. Shipping is fairly fast for me considering the distance they have to come. I would also suggest buying in bulk to save on shipping costs. As the more you order, the more the high shipping costs are offset. I usually buy 2 at a time but you can buy more if you need. The only improvement is they could do with a little more padding in boxes considering the fact they are coming a long distance to me.

Best product. Value for money. Quality is top notch when compared to others.

Excellent quality

I've been using Verbatim Blu-ray discs for many years, both M-Disc and regular. I found them to be excellent optical media. I had bought 900 of these Verbatim Japan Blu-ray discs over the last year. I had checked one initially when I bought 100 of them and it worked fine. Yesterday I ran out of my old stock 50GB discs and started to use these. I had 5 failures in a row. The discs would not initialize. I eventually figured out they will only burn at 2X and fail at anything above that. But don't hold me to it; I've only burnt 2 discs successfully as they take so long to burn. I wondered why they were so cheap including shipping from Japan. I can see why now. I needed 4000 of these discs for the archive. I'm glad I stopped at 900 discs before wasting more money. I would not recommend them for anything but for temporary backup that can be trashed after a short term. And even then, there are better Blu-ray options for temporary backup that burn faster than 2x. They may start to delaminate or have another problem. Just no telling, you can't have any faith in your media when it is so way off from spec. Big disappointment from Verbatim Japan. Daniel D.
