Optical Quantum 25GB 6X BD-R 50 Packs Spindle Blu-ray Disc Model OQBDR06ST-50

Pros: 25GB BD-R media is the most cost-effective storage available thanks in part to these discs. Cost per gigabyte easily beats every 3TB hard drive on the market right now (even the cheap slow models). After burning through over 130 of them, I have yet to run into any quality issues. Despite being rated for 6X, they burn at 8X consistently in my LG BD-R burner and never fail post-burning verification. These are preferable over the "white inkjet printable" discs which are horrible to write on with a permanent marker.

Cons: Long-term storage is an open question. Will these discs start losing my data in a decade or two? I have no idea and I'm not an expert on optical media. I store discs in large padded CD envelopes in a climate-controlled environment where they won't be moved around unless I'm looking through them, so premature "aging" of the media is not likely. All my old junky CD-Rs still work after 15 years, so I'm not too worried, but it is definitely a concern for some.

Overall Review: If you need decent quality, high-capacity media that will burn very quickly (~36 MB/sec) and that is the best possible price-to-capacity ratio, this is what you want to buy.

Pros: I have had Very Good results with these. The only "coasters" were because of mistakes I made. Another nice thing about them is (I think) that they are supposed to work with special Thermal disk printers for labeling. I "examined" a few coasters by cutting them up to see how they are constructed. These are not your run-of-the-mill media with the reflective/recordable surface "painted on". These have an additional protective layer over that one. These are Very Tough Media. You could probably run over these with a car and they would still be readable.

Cons: No real issues yet. However, I am dismayed that this item is Out Of Stock. I hope that Optical Quantum has not discontinued making it.

Pros: non. I couldn't even give these disks 1 egg

Cons: they don't work !!! Evidently Newegg won't let me submit this review unless I give optical quantum at least one egg. OK , you use them as a paper weight.

Pros: The discs recorded fine, I don't think there was a single failure in recording

Cons: Regardless of what format I created a BluRay disc in, I could not get it to read properly on my PS3 but it would work on the PS4 every time. I had a set of BD-R discs from another brand and they worked on both PS3 and PS4 players every time.
