These are not what is pictured - makes sense, as the double sided would be much more expensive! These RAMs are excellent and have worked flawlessly thus far. You get five discs, individually packaged in slim, jewel cases, 120 min of recording time in SP mode. Love these.Important information about the RAM discs. The coating they put on these may leave a residue that mayrender them difficult for a laser to read. The remedy is to wash them. I first run the disc under cool water to wet it, then use a wet kleenex with a tiny bit of dish soap on it and lightly scrub the disc back & forth between the center and outside edge until you've gone all the around the disc, but do not go around & around the disc in a big circular motion. Then rinse under cool running water to remove all the soap, shake the excess rinse water off, and gently pat dry with a soft cloth or soft paper towel. On any disc this can work miracles to render them once again readable after a recorder has rejected them because they were too dirty to read.

The Panasonic DVD-RAM (5 pack) (LM-AF120LU5) works everytime. The DVD-RAM also work for other DVD recorders such SAMSUNG DVD recorders.

I chose these for data backup because they write immediately and faster than dvd-r and rw (of similar speed like 4x of course). The discs are all coated and feel studier with no flex compared to the thinner more common media- that is, unless I go out of my way to find "premium" media.These are made in Japan- much like the best media Taiyo Yuden and older samples from brands like Pioneer. Out of dozens of older discs from Japan and two hundred Taiyo Yuden discs I've had no coasters. Couldn't say the same for TDK/SONY and the modern thin pieces from Taiwan.I highly recommend these if your recorder and reader supports this because they write fast enough in Windows 7, granted your stuff fits in the capacity of one or two discs. I wouldn't bother with this though if you are backing up movies or huge things that span many discs. For that you'd be better off with blu-ray or portable hd.For me,these are used almost daily in my ThinkPad running Win7 and often on three IBM servers- an x86 Bladecenter, X455 and a p570 for backups with no problems. For me the value is in the ease-of-mind due to durability and error correction. I have fewer discs laying around than with dvd-rw since I don't make duplicates and I have way less plastic waste/disposal than with dvd-r media.Other use for these are for things like video recording but those users are moving to solid state media now. I could use something like a flash drive or external HDD for all this but even FAT32 formatted ones don't have driver support in AIX. I also sleep a little tighter at night knowing the data is in little plastic slabs instead of complex electronics with either the possibility of mechanical or electronic accidents.I'd love to use Blu-ray media since I can duplicated data like five times on the same disc or just store more stuff :p but alas the ancient niche software I have (excluding windows osx) don't really appreciate cutting edge tech.

I finally wore out the original RAM disks that came with my Panasonic recording DVR, having made hundreds of recordings on each RAM-disk. The idea is simple - just as we used to record on a VHS tape in one room and play it back in another room on a separate playback device, so these RAM disks allow this handy method to be brought into the digital age. As with VHS tapes, they are re-recordable. I finally wore out the 5 RAM disks that came with my Panasonic DVR after hundreds of recordings. These RAM disks were available at an excellent price, came on time and in perfect condition. I have already used the first one, which recorded and played back perfectly. Unfortunately, RAM disk record and playback equipment is getting hard to find as we go to a model where everything has a monthly service charge.

I've never used DVD-RAM disc before but was quite intrigued by its possibilities.Basically it acts like a self-contained hard drive or a flash drive if you wish.You can add, delete and edit the data on the disc as if it were another drive.There's no need to finalize for example. My favorite feature is that I can record a TV program and them go back and edit out all the commercials. And I can also cut up a very long program into chapters to make it easier to jump to your favorite scenes. One most important thing. You have to make sure that your DVD player/recorder or computer hard drive is compatible (will recognize and except)DVD-Ram disc. I found that out the hard way. My old HP can not read DVD-Ram's.It would be much easier and quicker (read keyboard) to edit my disc on the computer. But never-the-less,though cumbersome, I can still manage with the DVD recorder. Problems? So far one disc failed to work properly.I like it. No more DVD-+R,RW alphabet soap for me.

If your DVD recorder has DVD-RAM capability (like Panasonic's do), DVD-RAM is the way to go. Each disc is more expensive (about $3-5), but here are the advantages: DVD-RAM discs allow you to erase some shows you've recorded from the disc and will give you all of that space to rerecord something else. On a DVD-RW disc, if I record three one-hour shows and then erase the middle or first hour after watching it (leaving just two hours of recorded material on the disc), I cannot record a 1-1/2 hour show, even though there "should be" two hours of space on the disc. This is because the DVD-RW disc has definite, sequentially reserved space, so that the above-described disc has two separate one hour slots that cannot be combined for a 2 or 1-1/2 hour show to be recorded. I think it might be the case, too, that the disc will only let you record on the final hour (and not into the middle hour that I've erased). You have to erase all on the disc to get the recordable space back.With DVD-RAM discs, it's like a flash drive or an old floppy--if there's any combination of an hour left on the disc, the RAM disc can record the hour, 1-1/2 hour, or 2-hour show, regardless.Next benefit: with the DVD-RAM disc you can watch the show that you're still recording (or any other show that's already recorded while a new show is, at the same time, in the act of recording). This is great if you're going to be 15 minutes late for a show. The DVD-RAM disc starts recording and when you show up 15 minutes later, you can just start watching, 15-minutes delayed. By the time you skip the recorded commercials, you can catch up with the show in real time by the end of the hour.
