Digital camera reviews of TDK 4.7GB 16x DVD-R (100-Pack Spindle)
Digital camera Review: Good compatibility, but only really 12X
Summary: 3 Stars
Burns well, is compatible with DVD-player for movies, but my Nero Express software identifies it as 12X media instead of the advertised 16X.Digital camera Review: Good disks but make sure your burner supports them
Summary: 4 Stars
In case you are wondering why some people have no problems and others can't use them, in most cases its how burner supports them. Note that the TDK gray -R disks are CMC MAG AM3 media
Bought 100 pack and a new Samsung sh-s182/Sony DRU-830A 18x burner. disks were unburnable at any speed other than 4x and the burner could not read my burns using Fuji Disks. Exchanged the burner for a Liteon SHM-165P6S and it burns the TDKs at 16x with only 1 coaster out of 60 burns (and I was encoding a video and d/l at same time). Looked at the firmware of both drives and found that they support certain media and not others.
NEC, Sony, Samsung DO NOT like TDK disks, Lite-On loves them. Lite-On firmware supports them the other's firmware doesn't list them.
Likewise there are disks that the Samsung/Sony burn fine but the Lite-On chocks on. And it depends on which model of the drives, some Lite-On do not like them and some Sony's do.
While there are some off brand disks that are poor, TDK is not among them. However, which burner and model of burner you have makes a big difference. Before buying disks do two things:
1 - check which disks your burner's firmware supports
2 - check how those disks have performed with your burner: club.cdfreaks.com and www.hardware.info both have extensive results posted by users on media and burners.
Digital camera Review: Great Blanks
Summary: 5 Stars
I used all 100 of these and are now buying the same ones again. Burned 99 without a problem. 1 coaster. When I noticed it had an error message using nero, I looked at the disk and it was bad manufacturing by TDK. The disc has some uneven markings at the outter part. I'm giving it 5 stars instead of 4 because 99 out of 100 is pretty good for my standards.Digital camera Review: Great DVD's
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the quality of the DVD's. They play in almost all the old dvd's players.Digital camera Review: Great DVD's ---Terrible Packing from J&R
Summary: 5 Stars
Have used these DVD's for awhile now with no problems whatsoever. Just ordered more last week. Bottoms of the cases were cracked because J&R used no packing material on the bottom of the box and in between the containers, only put a big bubble bag on top. Will check local next time just because of the shipping.....
