Do not work in Sony Vaio Optiarc Dual Layer DVD BurnerJune 7, 2008 S. Griffiths 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
What a bloody waste of time. No disc inserted. Drive spends 2 minutes attempting to work with these discs but fails.
Though TDK were a top brand ?!? Rubbish. Waste of time and money.
Cannot see what is on the diskMay 28, 2008 Technical and Artistic(Herts) 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought a spindle of 50 last year and also find the dark blue surface very hard to read from. I wear glasses with a prism which does not help and I am so fed up trying to read what's on the discs under a strong light and also the surface reflects back in an unacceptable manner that I have decided to not use what are left and redo all my backups on decent discs. That means redoing at least 20 discs as I have a lot of digital photos to archive as well as the usual data backups.
It is a pity because the discs are very good and not one coaster so perhaps if TDK are reading this they could consider changing the colour. The two stars is for the colour otherwise it would be five stars.

I ordered a pack of 50 and they all worked...so i ordered another set of 50 and not one of them worked. Whether i got a dodgy pack or the product has changed im unsure. One thing is for sure i won't be buying TDK DVDs again!!!
100% success rate!April 24, 2008 D. Downs(Harrogate) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I'm on my second spindle now with 100% success using a Pioneer 115DBK. Good value!
Work great but too dark to write on!March 9, 2008 D. Brown(UK) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I agree with the previous comment that these disks are too dark to write clearly on. I have stopped buying TDK disks for this reason alone. It's a shame since my previous 50 disks all worked flawlessly(burned at 12x) and I do trust the brand.
