Customer Reviews

Poor reuse
Although these are rewriteable discs I am gradually having to throw each one out as it stops successfully recording. May be cheap but very finite life!

Not really re-writable
I have tried 6 out of the 25 now and the same thing happened.
Formatting with InCD4 - fine.
First time writing - fine and straight after reading okay.
A few days later, the data can not be read. The media were stored in the dark at a cool dry cupboard.
Then I tried to retrieve data from the other 4 which I have recorded holiday snaps (in twin back-ups), I was shock to find out that one and half year worth of holiday snaps can not be retrived.

Definitely not good re-writable media. Something wrong with the dye. I have used two as write-once and they were still readable but I don't think people would want to pay at least twice the price of re-writable media to use it as write-once media.

I have also bought 10 DVD-RW media of the same band with the same results (see the other review).

I have bought 10 Verbatim DVD+RW media years ago and I am still using it to back up data regularly and so far they are still okay.

Can't get these to work -avoid them
I bought some of these on the Imation (3M) name but I cannot get them to work at all. It may be poor maufacture or possibly that they cannot reach the 4x as advertised. I will stick to Verbatim and regret trying to save a few pennies.
