5 out of 5 eggsAmazing for Backups

Pros: Amazing quality disks. Have burned Xbox 360 backups on 3 different burners (2 different LiteOns & currently a Samsung DVD burner/Blu-Ray Reader). Never had any coasters that were the fault of the burner. Burned 50+ on 3 different burners and still yield amazing quality.

Cons: None I can think of

Other Thoughts: They're much cheaper than other more widely used Xbox 360 backup disks used. I could never bring myself to buy something that is nearly triple the price per disk when I've never had any trouble with these. I read these reviews of ppl complaining how they get bad burns & I can only assume that is user error or laptop burners being used for these as I have had 100% burn success on over 50 burns using 3 different burners.

4 out of 5 eggsDrive type does matter

Pros: Cheap. Have made successful burns with this Ritek S04-66.

Cons: Burning with ASUS DRW 24B1ST rev. b drive cross-flashed to iHAS 324 resulted in burn failure. Switching to LG GGC H20L drive with 4x max write speed solved the problem. No failures so far.

Other Thoughts: Thankfully one out of two drives that I use will burn this Ritek OK. As far as longevity of the discs, who knows. This is my first venture into dual layer and will most likely be using Verbatim in the future.

1 out of 5 eggsThe Dreaded "Bad Batch"

Pros: Cheap. But see "Cons." <<==Important.

Cons: Bad wine at a bargain price is no bargain. First half dozen discs had read errors remedied by re-burning on the cheapest Verbatim. These TDK DL discs are worthless garbage.

Other Thoughts: Last TDK product I ever buy. I guess that being a TDK customer means simply rolling the dice until they screw you. I know I'm not the first, and I apologize for all the TDK purchases I made above the protestations made by those whom TDK ripped off before me.

4 out of 5 eggsGood product, but......

Pros: Produces good burns within the normal specifications. Burns Xbox XGD2 backups fine. See cons for abnormal issues.

Media ID: Ritek-S04-66

Cons: When creating Xbox XGD3 backups the discs are inconsistent when over burning disc sizes of 8.13GB. Had 2 fail out of 4 when over burning. The discs aren't as good as Verbatim for XGD3 because of lower quality. If you are burning anything else you should be fine.

5 out of 5 eggsHaven't had one coaster yet... Ok, maybe a couple.

Pros: TDK discs have worked flawlessly on my HP combo drive than any other brand I've used in the past. Very solid brand of disc. I think I've found a brand that is nice and stable.

Cons: Two of the discs I burned turned out to be coasters. It was my own fault though since DVD DL's can only be burned in my burning program as "disc-at-once" instead of any other method. The burns failed as such. No reduction in my rating because it was my own lack of knowledge.

Other Thoughts: A very good brand of disc. Bought a total of 75 discs (3 spindles) since I could save a lot of money purchasing 3 spindles for the price of one on Newegg than I could buy one alone at another retailer.

1 out of 5 eggs50% dead disks

Pros: None.

Cons: Of the first 12 disks I tried to burn, 6 failed on the verification pass in Nero 10. After the whole process was complete, I would eject the disk, put it back in, and verify myself that files couldn't be copied and that there was significant data loss. I tried burning them at a slower speed, power cycling the PC, and every other trick I could think of. The burner is brand name and only a few months old, and hasn't had any trouble with any other disks or brands.

At this rate my $19.99 25-pack will yield about 12, maybe 13 usable disks. What junk.
