Digital camera reviews of TDK 16X DVD+R 100PK Spindle
Digital camera Review: These are Imation disks (not TDK) and many clearly defective
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased 2 spindles about a few weeks apart. I bought the 2nd spindle as I was getting close to half of the 1st one - all looked good. But then about 60% of the way into the spindle I started finding clearly defective disks - rough edges on the recoding side (like glue was spilled on the spindle edge) sometimes actually going into the recoding area - a problem if you plan to record a lot of data and will need the area close to the outer edge of the disk. I was able to use many of the disks and they seemed to work fine, but you have to check every disks in bright light to see if it's ok before you use it. Also in the second spindle some disks have uneven coating with something looking like a scratch going from the center of the disks to the edge in straigh lines - they are not scratches though but just uncoated "lines". I did not use those defective disks, but I am pretty sure that would have been a problem as it affected most of the recordable area - not just the outer part as the "roghh edges" problem.
Also note that it is just the name "TDK" - the disk are actually made by Imation Corp.(says so in small print on the packaging) - I did not have a good experience with Imation disks on my PC in the past either - they are somewhat low quality just like these "TDK" disks. So here TDK makes money because their name is used and Imation makes money because even if you would not buy Imation Corp. disks - you might buy them labeled as "TDK" (thinking you are buyng something made by TDK). Both companies make money (by a deceiving branding method - TDK never made these!) and you pay for one thing (TDK) and get another (Imation). They sould be labelled as Imation - if you do not care if it's TDK or Imation you will buy them anyway - the price is low. But if you care and would buy TDK but not Imation - then both companies are making money by deceving you!
Digital camera Review: Error prone
Summary: 2 Stars
Random disks have errors - approx 10%. I have to add errorchecking to the recording sequence and dispose of one in ten.
What a pain!
Digital camera Review: Never A Dud
Summary: 5 Stars
I just love TDK recordables. I've been burning DVDs for I guess 6 or 7 years now, and I have yet to EVER have a TDK come out bad. On average, I burn about 50-60 DVDs per month. The DVD burners I use can read/write both +r and -r.
Sometimes I will be out shopping and see another brand on a special sale (mostly memorex) and I buy it, but it never seems to fail that several of them will end up being coasters!
So whenever possible, I stick with TDK and purchase either the +r or -r depending on which is lower in price at the time, and always in the 100 packs.
Digital camera Review: Great value, no problems
Summary: 5 Stars
These are fine, a very good value. No complaints, no problems. I store my VHS tapes on them, because VHS and VCRs are going out fast, obviously. If you need a place to store these, I recommend this: MaxellBlank Media, CD/DVD Paper Sleeve 100 (just like the ones you get in books with CD companions). I recommend these, and the aforementioned CD sleeves.Digital camera Review: disappointed in last shipment
Summary: 3 Stars
this last batch of dvd+r's i had almost of coasters and i always buy TDK i may wait a bit before i get this item again
