Smartbuy 50-disc 25gb 6X Bd-r BDR Blu-ray Single Layer White Inkjet Hub Printable Blank Data Recordable Media Disc with Cakebox/Spindle Packing

I've burned 8 discs so far with the Pioneer BDR-XD07S 6x USB3 slim drive and it has been flawless. Writes at 6x just as the media is rated at. I've been using k3b on Linux as my authoring/burning tool, and dd on the command line works great when imaging a disk. Definitely HTL discs and I expect them to last a long, long time inside of their jewel cases in a climate controlled environment. Great discs at a great price!For friends on Windows, I recommend ImgBurn software to author and burn your discs. Don't bother paying for any burning software, ImgBurn is by far the best.

I've read a number of times HTL which is not an organic layer, and is better long term than LTH. HTL are a darker brown to almost black vs a golden hue. I've only burned 15 so far, using imgburn, all good. I am converting my dvd collection to mp4, so they are all data burns. If I run into problems I will update this, but I am already planning on buying another batch. Oh, I am not printing on these, but it's great having that much write able surface.

These discs work fine, but though there is an advertised 25GB capacity, you can't realistically get that unfortunately. I tried (and wasted) several recordings at and around 23-25GB and they all failed... I thought I had a bad drive or bad discs... then I noticed the actual capacity of a new and empty disc in explorer at 23.3GB. So I lowered my data to 21GB and it worked fine. Through several more recordings, I came to the realization that anything 22.5G and over FAILS, anything UNDER that works fine. That is the magic number and is consistent for me. So far have not had a failure if I keep the data 22.4G or under. At 22.5G and over, I get repeated failure. I haven't yet researched why this is, because there is only a single small file on each new disc that is miniscule, so not sure why I CAN'T get the full advertised 25GB, but that's my experience. I have an LG BE14NU40 burner. This brings the overall cost of saving my data HIGHER because I lose 2.5G of space on each one. Otherwise the discs work great.These inkjet writeable ones are best if you want to label... evidently writing on a regular disc could eventually leach ink on the reflective surface with time and render your disc corrupt.I use these for long term archives. I have dual HDDs for immediate backups, and copy that to MDisc every once in a while and store these offsite as an emergency backup in case of dual HD failure or the unthinkable, fire. This is for stuff I just absolutely don't want to lose, i.e. videos of the kids, pictures, etc... When technology changes, I can always move to it at any time.For now, this is best for my purpose. They work great. And longest lasting storage available at this time.If these fail for you at first, try keeping your recording to UNDER 22.5G!My reviews are my opinions of the product received and just my opinion. Everyone is different and could have a different opinion of a product. I do not receive any monetary payment for my reviews, and I always keep them honest. So no need to worry whether or not my review is genuine, because it is. Also if you found this review helpful marking it as so would be greatly appreciated thanks!

So far, no coasters. I make backups onto Bluray of my files for offsite backup once or twice a week. It's important to have at least 2 backups, one onsite and another offsite. I use a NAS for onsite, and these Bluray discs for offsite (safety deposit box). I used to use a cloud service, but I don't trust the terms of service will keep my data private. For example, Google scrapes your Gmail account for info on you; I wouldn't be surprised if the other cloud services do exactly the same.

I USE THESE FOR LOWER GRAPHICS FULL DISK 4K MOVIES. AND OF COURSE REGULAR BLURAYS CONVERTING FROM 50GB SIZE TO 25 AND THEY PRINT WELL

These work as advertised, and that’s great at this price-

I have a radial CD/DVD printer that is an inkjet. It spins the disc and prints on it. The picture shows what happens with these DVDs. The disc on the left is one of these DVDs. The disc on the right is a Verbatim. Same image, two different discs and two different outcomes. I tried several, before I figured out it was the media and not the printer. Wasted a lot of ink, too.They might be okay for non-radial printers. But, I did notice that the ink didn't completely dry.Burning is fine as long as you don't use Window7 Image burner, which makes really nice coasters. Instead, use Nero or something better for burning the disc content.
