50GB BD-R DL Dual-Layer Blu-Ray Writable Disc, 6x, 25pk

Been using these disks for a couple of years. They have always performed well. Delivered quickly, good price.

So I bought two of these 50gb 25 disc spindles. I have so far burned thru the first spindle and have started on 2nd. The very first disc gave me a sense key error and did not complete burn. I have not had one of those since DVD days. But every single other disc has burned fine and plays/loads fine in BD player. I discovered that PLex discs were not working. Every single disc on that manufacturer whoever makes them I don't know but those were ALL bad and my BD player would not play them. Switched to Ridata and I'm pleased so far. Working my way thru the 2nd spindle. Only thing, they are marked as 6x discs but I can only burn at 4x max. I don't know why but it's not a big deal.

Best price per disk I can find. They work. No coaster. Have bought multiple times

I found these BD-R DL discs to be very reliable. It's way too soon to be talking about longevity but I can say that I haven't had a single coaster in all the ones that I have used. I like the 50Gb discs for most uses - large enough to store a decent amount of data while still being at a very competitive price. I have used the 100Gb discs but they are expensive and, at this point, not as reliable. My recommendation is stick with 50Gb discs like these for the moment.

Disc are “Ritek-DR3-000” and sadly will not even burn at all in a Pioneer BDR-UD03D. Tried 5 different disc multiple times. Tried burns between 2x-6x, all failed at the start of the burn where no data was written at all. Invalid address to write/Power Calibration Area Error. Most likely just a bad batch

The best of the best. I need these for my business and for the most part they are reliable. I do get some coasters here and now but for the price, it cannot be beat. The most affordable and cost efficient option there is.

I use these to back up my 1080p BD collection, and haven't had one issue related to the discs. I coastered two due to operator error. One thing of note is that with ANY disc, be it DVD or BD, I don't burn at max rated speed. These are rated for a 6x burn, and the three I tried there did NOT fail, but in the past, I have had issues with another brand having issue at max rated speed during the layer transition. I burn at 4x with these, and sure, it takes a little longer, but never a coaster. To me, that's time saved.

For over 10 years I had been buying Verbatim Blu-ray Disc 50 pcs Spindle - 50GB BD-R DL and every disc that has successfully burned that I have tried to read 10 years later read. Then the last spindle I got, I couldn't get a successful burn to save my life. I even bought another burner with no joy. So I gave these a shot and haven't had a bad burn yet. Will they stand up to the test of time? To be continued...
