I recently purchased the 50GB Verbatim BD-R DL and they are nice, but there is bubbling on the burned surface causing my NERO burning verification to fail. I have burned many disks and I have had this issue before with disk. I usually just throw another one in and move on. And usually, it succeeds. They read just fine, but there are clearly bad sectors being written. I have not downloaded the data and performed and checked the data as NERO would be doing these operations for me. This has happened to 6 out of 8 of these disks so far. Prior to putting the disks in for burning I visually inspect them to make sure the surface is clean and the disk has no damage. So I know its happening during the burning process.I have an ASUS Turbo Drive.I haven't reached out to ASUS to see what their warranty looks like or if they want a batch number.To be fair I did buy the M-DISKs and those had no issue. 3/3 successful burns of 300 GB of data.

Verbatim has always been my go-to brand, and I recently had a massive backup job that I thought going to 50GB discs would help speed the process a bit. I ordered 2 spindles over a couple week period. The first spindle worked generally fine, maybe 1 or 2 coasters that may or may have been my fault. Second spindle has been a disaster, with about 50% of them failing. I even bought a brand new burner (Pioneer) to rule that out as a cause and it didn't help.Haven't tried to RMA the discs, and they're too expensive to have to baby them when the 25GB discs just work. Really sad that premium brands, at premium prices, have sank to this level. (even the 25GB discs aren't as good as they used to be but they're definitely better than these)Really not worth the price premium anymore.

Near perfect burns every time; rarely have a bad disc out of 100.

I only use Verbatim if I need a physical copy of videos. I put the family Christmas videos on these and know they'll last for years if not decades. They just look and feel professional.

Verbatim discs are one of the best in the market, saying that I have seen good reviews with verbatim which gives you confidence that the quality is good. If you buy cheaper brands you just don’t know what you are getting, cheapest is not always the best.If a cheaper brand fails you in the end it costs more to rectify the situation so pay the extra and get satisfaction that it works. Verbatim have been around for a long time. A trusted brand.

el paquete llegó antes de lo previsto,los discos son de muy buena calidad, habia comprado solo de 10 pack y en esta ocasion me anime a comprar la de 25 unidades, ya que siempre ofrecen buena calidad y velocidad de grabaciónRECOMENDABLES

I've used the Verbatim BD-R 50GB discs frequently for a couple years. They are quite reliable.There is an alternative “Verbatim” 50GB BD-R disc sourced from Japan. It's an all-white, printable disc that you will find on Amazon and other sites. They are temptingly priced at about half the cost of the Verbatim discs you see on this page. I bought a spindle of 100 discs on the bay and many were defective. After translating comments from Asian posters at Amazon, I see others found the same visually obvious problem: white smudges on the outer rim of the discs reflecting lousy quality control. The “verbatim” brand name was evidently licensed by a less assiduous manufacturer in Japan. The manufacturer part numbers for these turkeys: VBR260RP100SV1, VBR260YP50V1No brand of media is perfectly reliable. From burning discs of various types for 20 years I’ve learned to burn at the slowest available speed. The time investment is worth it because the output has less immediate and long term failures. With Blu-ray, I’ve never seen burning problems with 25 GB, single layer format. The 50 GB, dual layer format fails occasionally even with best quality, Verbatim media.Always use “Verify” mode with your burning software – some errors are not detected during writing, but appear later on reading.I’ve used some of the budget brands of blu-ray media and they worked fine, but I’ve only tried budget brands with single layer 25 GB, and then only a small sample size. The test of a media brand comes with the more problematic dual layer format.It takes a lot of experience to figure out whether an annoying failure rate is coming from hardware, software or media. I expect there are many good software burning packages. I suspected that the burner within my DVDFab suite was a factor in producing errors with 50 GB discs. I tried Cyberlink’s Power2Go burning software and it cut down my coaster rate sharply. Power2Go is the most reliable software I’ve ever used, better even than the venerable ImgBurn freeware standard. I highly recommend Power2Go.I’ve used two quality external blu-ray burning drives, plus a low cost external drive. If you want top reliability with frequent use you must fork-out for the best external drive from ASUS or Buffalo. Any configuration of hardware/software/media has worked acceptably for me with 25 GB discs. For 50 GB I’ve found the Buffalo drive to be slightly more reliable than ASUS. More controlled, extensive testing would be needed to be definitive.edit: I see pioneer has just come out with an internal BD burner. A lot of people swear by that brand. Perhaps there are good internal drive options beyond what I've tested.This concludes my TED talk.

Funcionan perfectamente para mis respaldos de información inactiva. Resisten la grasa de los dedos y puedo rotularlos fácilmente con plumón de fieltro.

UPDATE: Burned the whole spindle - only 1 coaster. Will be buying these again. I was a tad annoyed that the second I bought this the price jumped up over $40 and has been slowly coming down the past year since I purchased these. Not sure why Amazon does this. BUT, these are GREAT disks and if you read below you will see my concerns about a previous brand I used to use but NOW... I will only be buying Verbatim DL media. Also, after emailing Verbatum on the type of disks used LTH or HTL they are the GOOD ones not the lower cost ones. Verbatim emailed me back mentioning that for many years they have only used the better method of making their blurays. So, that makes me happy.STORY ON MY MEDIA ADVENTURES:I have burned about 5,000 RiTek bluray disks and never had problems in the PAST. Keep that word in mind... in the PAST. Prior to 2020 I have purchased nothing but RiTek but my last 2-3 cases I purchased in late 2019... every single disc was a coaster. On the layer change the burn would fail verify. I even bought a NEW LG burner. Still had problems with the RiTek. I even upgraded my burning software from AShampoo Burning Studio to the latest version. Still a pile of bad 50GB expensive coasters. So, I even bought a high end Pioneer Bluray burner and still had nothing but coasters. Ended up digging around and it seems to be a problem with most RiTek around the end of 2019 onward.I bought these Verbatim DL's for the first time... and so far! NO coasters! Perfect first burn!So, It's what I thought. A whole bunch of bad (RiData) discs went out around the end of 2019. You used to be able to read the stories of people who bought 5 packs of 25 spending hundreds of dollars on RiTek (off Amazon) and ending up with nothing but coasters.After spending so much money on new drives, software, etc I figured... what is one last expense!??! I mean.. it COULD have been Windows 10. Some of their software changes deep in the OS have caused other programs to not work. But, all my 25GB RiTeks I have remaining from prior to 2019 all work fine. BUT, going forward... I'll only be buying Verbatim disks.I may even try 100Gb blanks although that's a lot of data on 1 disk... so, maybe 50GB is good enough for me. LOL! :)Also, RiTek... I have thousands here all perfectly burned over the past 20 years.. from cd's, to dvd's, to blurays to bluray DL... all perfect. Maybe 1 coaster per 200 disks. But, I have here 2 brand new RiTek 50GB DL bluray blanks... ALL coasters.So, I would stay away from RiTek. Also, last time I checked, those selling RiTek disks... started up a NEW page for the bluray DL's which means all those thousands of bad reviews are now gone.So, let's hope RiTek figures out what went wrong and fixes it one day. But, once I have a good brand.. I tend to stay with that brand... and Verbatium is the first good BD-R DL I have burned in 2 years. So, going to stick with them. A lot of stuff I burn, I can't lose down the road. I have a 42U 500TB server. About 20TB is personal data. The rest is projects for my business and other stuff. I have backups on other drives, but, some data, I like on disk.Happy to be able to burn 50GB disks again :)

Well, as much as people over-use the word perfect, it's simply not true that anything is. Out of 25, 3 were bad. It used to be that you could trust Verbatim as THE BEST..but that isn't true anymore. I had a project to do that included using all 25 in the pack. I set the write speed to 6x since 8x doesn't go so well with my burner. I'd suggest another brand now since the price is high for this pack. All of the discs should have burned successfully. I use ImgBurn and it does fantastically. I don't use any other burning software, and ImgBurn has been 100% accurate with all my previous optical drives...including current. Now I'm on the hunt for a different brand. I would have given 5 stars except for the 3 coasters.

These are double layer Blue Ray Disks that have twice the capacity of regular Blue Ray Disks. (regular ones can store 25 GBytes and these can store 50 GBytes). You need a Blue Ray burner that can burn DL or above Blue Ray Disks to use these, but they are just what you need when you want to store up to 50 GBytes of data.

I have been using Verbatim's single layer discs for years without a single coaster, for a total of about 90 discs. I bought these dual layer discs 2 years ago and have burned 6 of them without a problem using Nero and a Pioneer burner. They will hold 4 hours of h264 video at 1080p or 6 hours at 720p. My LG player has played every one of both the single and dual layer discs.

No write errors at all. Good product.
