Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Memorex 16X DVD-R (100-Pack Spindle)
Customer Review: A good deal gone right!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was never a fan of Memorex's, even back in the early eighties when their cassette tapes were dominating the ad slot with its "Is it live, or is it Memorex?" slogan. I bought some Memorex CD-Rs a couple of years ago and it was the worst optical media I have use and wasted my money on to date. I sworn not to ever use the brand again....until now. I recently bought 2x50PK (100) of these 16X DVD-Rs since they were dirt cheap. How can you go wrong for spending merely $20 for it, you just can't! It paid off so far because I haven't encounter one bad burn with these DVDs, not only that; the finalized discs played fine on all of my players. At the moment I'm thinking "Is it Memorex, or is it something else"? They're not only good deals especially for 16X rated, but they're also great discs.
Customer Review: Simply the bomb for backups
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, I have an old Pioneer DVR-105 burner that doesn't even burn DVD+Rs, so you people that have those duel layer burners may want to tune out, but these are what I have been using for years to backup important data. They cost a little more than other DVD-Rs but they are worth it for archiving data. I have about a 150 of these lying around holding important files and I never once in 3+ years have had a problem with aging. Media such as Fuji, Optiplex, or even the Sony brands don't age as well as these do.
I don't normally back-up moves with these since I can get other brands are cheaper, but for backing up games, your My Documents, pictures, and you name it; you cannot find a better brand than this for Pioneer recorders.
Customer Review: Great Quality on Blank Media
Summary: 5 Stars
Another brand that I barely find a coaster on is the Memorex DVD-R's. It is as par as with the Maxells, Sony's, Verbatims and RiDatas that I have used before. I am just trying to stay away from unknown brands that is kind of a hit or miss. The thing with DVD's or CD's is that when you find a bad one, it seems to be bunched into the same stack as they were manufactured at the same place and at the same time. My recommendation is not to burn DVDs or CDs using the maximum speed, the chance of a bad burn tend to be much much less if you use the next slower speed indicated on the media. Same as filling up the data capacity, 4200mb seems to work best for me as filling up the DVD to the edge may become problematic.
Customer Review: Very Happy with this Media
Summary: 5 Stars
I have gone through more than one 100 pack of these DVD-Rs, and have not yet ended up burning a coaster to put my coffee on. Also, one thing I really like about these DVDs is they have a very nice configuration of lines on them to write on - this actually is a pretty important design feature.
But of course the most important thing is that the media copies data accurately and lasts long. So far, I've been completely satisfied with the quality of my burned DVDs and, while it hasn't been long enough to really tell, none have worn out yet.
So either go for these or the Verbatims - but between them, these at least look cooler :)
Customer Review: Excellent DVD-Rs
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this item earlier this year expecting this item to have a high failure burn rate. I have burned through about 50-60 DVD-Rs and I have only had three to four fail. (of course there has to be non corrupted files for it to not fail). I have been very surprised and would buy Memorex DVD-Rs again. Would definitely recommend these DVD-Rs to anyone.
Pros-
Lots of DVD-Rs in the 100 pack spindle
Low disc failure rate
Holds a lot of music, picture, and other small data.
Cons-
Doesn't hold a lot of video data
(there's no more cons that I can think of)
Hope this review helps!
