4 out of 5 eggs Cheap Media That Burns Well Consistently 10/06/2015

This review is from: HP 4.7GB 16X DVD-R 50 Packs Shrink Wrap Disc Model DM00070B4

Pros:

- Stores 4.7 GB (roughly 4.4GB with finalization)
- Very cheap when on sale
- Discs are easy to write on with Sharpies
- Burns consistently with Samsung, LG and Panasonic Blu-ray Burners and DVD Burners
- No Coasters!

Cons:

- Low-Grade CMC Magnetics Media
- Not very scratch resistant
- Doesn't come with a spindle, just shrink wrapped (how do I store this?)

Overall Review:

Overall, this is decent media if you just want something cheap to back-up or pass along data or movies. However, if you're looking for a more permanent archival solution, you may wish to consider Verbatim AZO dye discs which are much more expensive due to their longer life span and scratch resistant coating.
