Find Best Price at Amazon"I've moved a lot recently for work (including internationally) and am always concerned about properly backing up important files before setting off. If you're reading this review, there's a good chance you're considering other data storage options like DVD-RW or a portable HDD."
"Of the DVD-RAM discs I have used over the years these have to be the best in quality and longevity."
"On a DVD-RW disc, if I record three one-hour shows and then erase the middle or first hour after watching it (leaving just two hours of recorded material on the disc), I cannot record a 1-1/2 hour show, even though there "should be" two hours of space on the disc. Next benefit: with the DVD-RAM disc you can watch the show that you're still recording (or any other show that's already recorded while a new show is, at the same time, in the act of recording)."
"Recording, watching, erasing and recording again for over 9 months. On regular re-writeable disks, when the disk is full you have to erase from the end to make room for new recordings."
"Tried to format them in both Panasonic DVR's but they fail and so the discs are no longer Usable."
"These that I just purchased did not work at all with my DVR."
Verbatim 9.4GB DVD-RAM 3X discs are compatible with drives and video recorders from Panasonic, Toshiba, Hitachi, JVC, Samsung, LG and others. 9.4GB double-sided media in disc-removable Type 4 cartridge; 3X high speed recording & high capacity data transfer; Store 240min of high quality DVD video; Phase change technology recording; Provides high reliability & random access editing;

"Other than what is printed on the shutter/disc cover slide and what is printed on the sheet of stickers these "Branded" discs appear to be identical to the Panasonic discs."
"Couldn't give 5 stars because I've had one side of one disc that was bad."
"When my new PC required this type of disc for backup, I had to ask my tech son what it was and then checked in the local Office Depot to get it."
"Excellent ***** Discs worked fine, exactly what I needed!"

"Also, I bought this product to create a system image disc and a repair disc. So, after purchasing this product and finding out that it needed 16 discs in order to copy just a system image disc - it turns out that only one out of 50 was bad."
"For me it is not a big deal as most items that I get for work have to be packed to the hilt--- so with this the spindle was in a specifically manufactured holder in a standard box--- cut the tape on the top, pop out a single piece of cardboard and voila!"
"In making that collection, I have tested quite a few brands of dvd's as you may imagine, and have become accustomed to having a bad disk every 10th disk or so."
"I suppose this could be viewed as unacceptable, but I don't burn many disks so for me, (only my viewpoint) that is alright and I'm a certified tech."
"But I ordered these Verbatim discs recently from Amazon and they would not play back on my computer dvd drive."
"I usually buy Verbatim 95037."
"Two discs worked, the rest (of those that I tried; I returned the remainder) failed."

"The writing on either the disk (when reusing it, or if you make an error) or on the tops of the cases is removable with rubbing alcohol. Merely leave the disk in its case (easiest) or on a smooth, flat surface to avoid marring the disk; put rubbing alcohol on a folded paper towel and remove the writing by rubbing it off."
"For our DVD recorder."
"So far, no errors and works just fine."
"Another thing is to actually check the product description carefully, not all vendors will state the disk speed in the description details...so you may have to check the brand/model number of the disk elsewhere to make sure it matches your machine."
"Works great."
"Would be better if ALL the disc worked, Get stacks that have as many as 7 that will not work."
"I thought I was getting rewritable disc, but when I put it in my recorder it says ERROR."

"Every year I make a complete data backup on DVD and store it offsite for disaster recovery."
"I have yet to have a burn failure with Verbatim blank recording discs."
"Needed to reliably read/write double layer DVD."
"Don't buy any others."
"I really like Verbatim disks, the failure rate is much lower than other brands."
"I guess Verbatim pulled out from their India suppliers after receiving a lot of complaints from their loyal customers. Tested these burned Verbatim Dual Layers on my HD LCD TV which upconverts the image source, and they came out sharp as the original DVD, and no freezing or skipping."
"As an occasional videographer, I only recently started moving onto the dual-layer side of authoring because I got tired of having to buy and use dual or triple cases ,depending on the project, when dual-layer media isn't that much more expensive."

"I recorded shows, and several TV series, from our TV originally on vhs tapes (when that was the best way to record things). I am moving previously recorded shows, TV series, photos and events because I have noticed that the original media that they were recorded on are having problems."
"1 star removed for LOUSY amazon packaging (cracked+chipped case, b/c 2 sides of the box had ZERO protection, the air-pillows were haphazardly wrapped around only half of the item, 2nd time this happened in past 4 shipments from amazon (directly amazon, not 3rd-party), same happened w/a box of cd-cases recently, had to toss 1st 3 broken, good thing it was a 50-case pkg dirt cheap.)."
"Compared to many famous brands that usually have one or two flawed disks out of ten, I cannot say enough about this brand!!!"
"I was able to burn a 3.3 GB worth of ISO files in less than 15 minutes. For those who want to know, the difference between DVD-R and DVD-RW is that DVD-RW can erase and rerwite whereas DVD-R can only write once."
"I have burned hundreds of TV shows from my DVD recorder hard drive to these discs and have ended up with less than a handful of coasters."
"Works as expected the problem with these discs is the durability however due to the price I believe is good considering this cannot be stored for a lifetime."
"On several discs, I have recorded and erased them repeatedly....many times...and they still work fine."

"These BD have been working great with my LG WH16NS40 with my LG Electronics WH16NS40 running firmware Version 1.02-A0 and Ashampoo Burning Studio 2017 and Windows Server 2012 R2."
"I've had great results with these discs - not a bad one thus far after using over 100."
"Love it, they are simply a joy to copy to."
"One problem: IF price would be what I paid in JULY 2017, I would be buying A LOT more, even at a time, but cannot afford the price of $44 dollars which they have now."
"These are decent and work fine."
"If you save a few pennies per disk by going with a less-reliable brand and then lose your data one day because your disc drive no longer can read your media, do you really want to be kicking yourself for not having spent the extra money to buy Verbatim?"

"Not much to state here, these discs seem as good as Taiyo Yuden, but maybe a little more scratch resistant having a slightly better recipe in plastic pressing, or minting."
"I'm using an Old LG GGW-H20L All disk created work although it gives an error creating the disk directly in Pinnacle 19.5 on win7 but no error writing the same BD image saved to disk up to a new blank disk from that same stored BD image later?"

"I bought 4 of these."
"MID: VERBAT-IMe-000. I've used these for about 2 or 3 years now and the ones I burned back then are still readable. I don't have a printer capable of burning to the inkjet label side so I can't offer any kind of review of that aspect of these discs."
"Stop ripping off your customers verbatim and set the price at a reasonable level."
"Like so many other BD-R brands out there, QC seems to have taken a back seat as out of three spindles (75 discs) I have had nearly 50 bad burns, nearly all during the second layer (all either while writing the 2nd layer or verifying)."

"It can be read and written by an internal IDE drive (only one per system) or an external drive connected to a USB port or a parallel port (slowest in access). Removable disks can contain a lot of data when it can be partitioned into 250 MB segments. The data on a ZIP drive can be read and written by different versions of an Operating System (using the FAT format). ZIP drives, like floppies, should not be exposed to magnetic fields or high heat (sunshine). These are great for documents (5 50K) but don’t have the capacity for many larger files, such as digital photographs (3M to 7M)."

Heck, the only reason why I have a home stereo MD recorder is because I found a clean Sony MDS-JE330 deck at Goodwill a few years back for $12.99."
"These days, mini discs are considered obsolete but they are still one of the best way to record and edit music."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Of course you can alter the amount of input into your tape deck and eliminate any chance of feedback from the tape itself. When I used this tape I recorded a few of my favorite songs onto it at 15" per second. Coming from experience no matter what speed you record at be it 3.75" 7.5" or even 15" per second this tape will sound amazing and is fit for master recordings. Try putting you favorite songs from CD to tape to make it analog and I guarantee it will sound smoother."
"If you need a 10.5" reel of audio tape this is it."
