Advantages: Come in printable top, or silver branded top

Disadvantages: Should be available in larger packs

When I first purchased a DVD writer on my computer I wanted DVD media which I know were reliable. The name firstly "Verbatim" is seen as being really reliable as their research suggests that data has an archival life of about 100 years.

I have used these DVD's for over 2 years now, and I have not had a single coaster (bad disc) they have always worked with no errors. I'm using a NEC ND3500A writer.

These DVD's come in a variety to choose from; either a printable top, or a silver top branded with the "Verbatim" logo and a few lines to write down the contents of the disc.

My top speed in my drive is 16x, but these DVD's work with no problems - just select 8x on your software and it will write at slower speeds to these discs. Don't however burn at a higher speed than 8x to these (because somehow they DO allow higher speeds than 8x) otherwise the integrity of the data will be at risk.

Summary: Reliable, no errors, archival safe.
