Advantages: High quality, therefore little/none coasters

Disadvantages: Slightly higher price than other media, but with good reason!

For starters Verbatim have always been the pioneers in data storage. With their edition of the Dual layer DVD this pioneering ability has not altered. I have used these discs for numorous purposes, from backing up large quanities of images to lenghty sessions of video and are yet to come across many hickups. They work and are understood by the majority of DVD burner on the market. However as a general piece of advice, make sure your particular drive has the latest firmware installed, as otherwise you may have an issue with what's known as "booktype". Lets get this straight 8.5Gb is alot of storage space, so mathematically 10 of these equate to an operating system drive. In terms of the comparison between these and other dual layer media available on the market, I would have to say that these discs are second to none. I so far have had 0 coasters, out of the 10 discs that i have burnt. Please also note as an added bonus that some DVD burners ( like mine for example) can show this media as compatible with 8.0x write speed, which will then further the speed at which you can back up data. All in all a great writeable media!

Summary: Great media for all purpose backups
