Being someone who was one of the first people in the UK to buy a CD-writer (at considerable expense at the time), I have moved with technology as, but not necessarily as soon as, new products become available. It had taken some time for me to be convinced that I had a personal need for blu-ray but having had several packages that could not fit on a DVD or even a dual-layer DVD prompted the change. Curiously, there is little price differential between Blu-ray disks and dual layer DVDs and, in some instances, the latter is strangely the more expensive!There are known compatability issues between some drives and certain media, hence the wild mixture of comments ranging between rubbish and excellent for either hardware or media,

QUICK UPDATE December 2016 - I would give it 10 stars if I could - NERO DECODE and other software I slowly learned about with this is EXCELLENT - I love itORIGINAL REVIEW of 5 stars... from the time I made the purchase ..Recorded a copy for me and a copy for dad so total of 14 blu ray discs recorded and tested so far and they burned perfectly on the 2 laptops we are backing up - Gigabyte P34 and Gigabyte Q2442 ... using NERO 2014 Platinum software - looking forward to the price of 100GB BLU RAY disks dropping to a sensible price so I can carry less disks overall - these 25GB work GREAT - I have never had a disk fail in my life by VERBATIM so I only purchase this brand anyway....

Original review 25th December 2009I bought a 5-pack of these only very recently, about two weeks ago. Therefore my comments are very preliminary, but I have had no problems with them so far, neither formatting, recording, nor playing back from them. They seem good value compared to the cost of the Panasonic equivalent.I have not yet erased nor re-recorded to any of the discs. This is not because I intend to use them for archiving, but because I have not finished watching the recordings I made.Update 9th January 2014:I am still using these discs, re-using each one approximately every month or two, I have not experienced any failures. I'm so pleased,

Bought to archive some older operating system images which I was loathed to fully delete from my NAS drive. Discs are of good quality, currently used half so far with no burn errors and speed is as advertised (but could vary depending on your BD burner, check your specs before buying if burn speed is of importance). Works well with Topop slim line DVD-BD drive (Matshita BD-MLT UJ260AF internals) paired with iMac.Single disc used for video burning test and could be played back on several BD players (Sony, Panasonic, TDK).Would certainly purchase another pack should I require further archiving. Only four stars given as other brands and longevity of the media has not been tested.

Arrived promptly, well packed well, and no coasters yet! Ideal for backing up large amounts of data.Its always advisable to re-backup your data on fresh media after 6 -9 months, as all cd/dvd`s etc seem to degrade after about a year or so I`ve found.Long storage in light proof cases is not recommended because of this, as I nearly found out to my cost! Periodic short exposure to daylight seems to help prolong data retention.Maybe something to do with the recording layer(s).Slower recording rates (rather than full blast!) also help to record more reliably.It may well depend on brand quality too, and I`ve always found Verbatim stuff to be good, but be warned!

The usual high quality from Verbatim : These Verbatim Datalife Blank blu-ray discs are HTL - (High to Low) - discs. NOT the cheaper Low to High, which uses a yellow Dye. I have used 20 from this cake of 50 to author various HD video projects of my own - and all have burned without issue producing excellent results. I use a Pioneer internal Blu-Ray writer to author these discs and I must say, for me anyway, they make a perfect team.I can and do recommend these HTL Verbatim discs. I have been producing short and full length movies for around 5 years, and since the inception of the blank blu-ray - have never used any other brand other than Verbatim.

Further to the previous review, I was 'foolish' enough to buy some of these discs, and was rewarded with an absolute steal! I can't fault these discs; fast write speeds, and a good wide printable area. The reason there is no ID on the discs is to give you more room to print your labels without a great big Verbatim logo in the way! I've used 16 of these so far, not one 'coaster', every one has worked perfectly. Unlike the previous reviewer, I actually own this product, I'm not just going off guesswork, they're the real deal and well worth the price. I have to agree with one thing though, Verbatim are a top quality disc!

These discs are not compatible with my LG GGW-H20L burner even after putting latest firmware on (YL07 from 2011). Now this is a rather old burner so sooner or later I was going to run into this problem, fortunately both Nero and Imgburn detected they were incompatible so the discs I did try arn't ruined. I can't give these discs a low rating as LG more to blame for not releasing a newer firmware.In conclusion I have no idea what these discs are like but if using an old burner, I'd advise checking that there's a newer firmware for it before buying these discs.Edit: Confirmed working on a Pioneer bdr 207d.

This product arrived very quickly in appropriate packaging, and was chosen due to its competitive price.The discs themselves provide no problems, which is perhaps the least and most that one should expect.The amount of stuff that can be recorded on a single disc is huge compared to a dvd.They do of course come in the standard god awful cd type jewel case type plastic boxes which is the laziest bit of design for a mass product that I can think of-it goes without saying one of the flimsy hinge pieces has broken off since i received the package.

Burned couple of these Verbatim 25GB BD-R. No problem at all as long as you are using lowest speed of burning and reliable burner as Nero.Give yourself a chance to save forever if you keep these DVD at room temperature and humanly possible away from scratches, is the most reliable way of saving your precious huge collection of personal family or personal video, photos.(...SD cards or other form of electronic storage are NOT considered a reliable and viable storage support for many generations.)

Fantastic value and work perfectly. Use them to back up my photographs, one month per blu ray (or maybe two on busy month!) so less than fifty pence to save around 4500jpegs from my Canon SLR. No failures in writing yet and have backed up my photographs from 2004. A full blu ray takes only 12mins to write so very fast (my blu ray writer is internal). Written to and then filed in a folder from poundshop in case the unforeseen should happen. Cannot praise these highly enough!

Fast service from order to door, excellent product good quality however enviromentally if the discs were presented in a cardboard sleeve or even a polythene sleeve with a tuck in flap this would reduce the size of the packing as all 5 discs are in hard cases, it would mean that the cardboard box would not need to be so large, therefore good for the environment and less rubbish to throw away and less space to store them. Merely an observation.Brian McNulty

So far, so good.I am using these mostly for data backup, and archival storage of photos, music, etc..Been burning these at 12x, twice their advertised speeds, on a LG BH16NS55.AUAU10B Internal burner. So far, all 20 of the discs I have burned at 12x have been without a single problem or error. Verified all data afterwards and found no errors.For the money, these are great discs with good reliability. Will be buying more in the near future.

On my LG burner these disks unlock the highest possible burning speed (12X). (i have used other Verbatim and TDK blu rays in the past)The disks themselves on top are completely white ,no brand logo, no lines (in contrast to other Verbatim Blu rays) .So far i have burned 19/19 successfully (while system was multitasking ;speed 8X-10X). Best price/quality ratio in my opinion at the time this review is being written.

I ordered this 5 pack Jewel Case 25GB Blu-Ray pack around 4th Jan 2011. Although the package got lost in the post, BASE asked me to wait for the minimum 16 days to satisfy the minimum requirement and then reset my order and I received the order at last. I am very satisfied with it and am also satisfied with the quality of service from BASE. Many thanksAlex
