Memorex 2.4x DVD+RW (25 Pack Spindle)

Summary: Worked ok with my Plextor PX-712A at 4X
Review: I bought these for data backup purpose. Burned the first 2
discs for 8 GB of data with Easy CD/DVD creator 6 without any
problem. It was burned at 4X through out.

I also tried to use DVD decrypter (a shareware) to copy a 7.4
GB movie to the 3rd disc. Oberviously, without compression it
will not fit to this single layer disc. The copy was also
performed at 4x, it errored out when ran out of space. But for
the portion that did get copied over, it was playable on my 2
year old Sony DVD player.

Oberviously my sample size is still small. Will post a
follow up if problem surfaces, otherwise, the rating
from me stays at 5 stars.

Summary: BEWARE - Cheap, yet, but don't work in many DVD burners
Review: Add the Sony line of DVD Burners to the list that these disc's do not work in... I have a 25pack that is boat anchor and worthless to me! Not one disc is recognized by Sony drives. Will have to go back to Fuji... Memorex has apparently made a huge mistake and ruining their reputation buy going on the cheap for manufacturers.

Summary: Unreliable!
Review: Bought these for recording on my Sony DVD Recorder. First problem encountered: does not record from timer set programs. Second frustrating problem: I will frequently record from TiVo programs onto these discs, then try to play them back and come up with the same disc error problems ("disc error, unreadable, or disc dirty). Some of the discs work without a hitch, then the next few will be completely unusable! I will not buy these Memorex discs again and recommend you do not waste your money on them either.

Summary: worse product I ever bought..
Review: I bought 3 - 25 dvd +rw media. I tried to take back up of my data on atleast 10 different media with my sony 700ul drive and out of 10 only one worked. Some of them I can not read after burning, some of them I can not burn at all... Do not waste your money and time behind this product...

Summary: Some things to keep in mind
Review: I bought these after having great success with the memorex 25 +R X4 pack. they burn fine on my liteone but can only be read by the same drive and not by my other dvd. Also, I confirmed with memorex technical support; these disks have a much shorter data retention rate than the +r format; 5 years+ vs 70 yrs+. FYI.

Summary: Very pleased!
Review: I own a Philips DVDR-75 Recorder for over a year now. The ONLY discs I've used in this machine are the Memorex 2.4X DVD+RW discs. They have worked flawlessly. In over 175 DVD+RW discs burned on this machine I have only encountered 1 Disc to be defective. In the beginning portion (center) of the disc there is a slight factory blemish which causes an "error" in recording during the beginning of the disc. After this area the disc is perfect however. I continue to purchase these discs for all of my recording needs. I highly recommend these discs to anyone. They're my only choice so far. 175+ with only 1 defective...not bad by any standard.

Summary: Great For Standalone DVD Recorders And Cloning Drives
Review: I picked up 6 packs of these Memorex +RW's from CompUSA (150 total). They work great in my Liteon LVW5005 DVD recorder. I also used them to Ghost my hard drive. 40GB drive filled up about 5 discs when compressed. Hey, 2.4x isn't that slow...about 22 min a disc vs about 15min for 4x. Not worth the price difference to go 4x (.40, .50 or more $$ per disc extra for no-name discs). I haven't had a failed burn yet with these Memorex discs. The fact that they're re-usable up to a 1,000 times makes these a great value.

Summary: Very reliable
Review: I've used several hundred of these Memorex DVD+RW's with a Cyberhome recorder, no problems, as compared to the Memorex printable disks and a few other brands. In fact, I no longer buy any other type because of the convenience, price and reliability. As for the person who quoted Memorex tech support as saying +RW has a data retention rate of only 5 years, I checked with them today and they say, "The media will last 70 plus years, however you should check the data every 5 years to ensure quality." I think that need to check is good advice for every type of storage media, so I'm sticking with +RW as a personal preference for the way I record. I essentially record everything and decide later whether or not to keep it.

Summary: Ok when media is not visibly defective
Review: One of 25 discs had an obvious spot of a different color. That
disc could be written, but not red properly.

The rest of 24 were ok in my NEC ND-1100A. I've rewritten some
multiple times and they still work.

Summary: Unreliable product
Review: The first two discs burned "fine" but did not play in either the Phillips or Coby DVD players I own. This was very disappointing as the Coby usually plays any type of media. It played only in the NEC 1100A drive in which they were created. The next two discs burned badly with unspecified errors. Sadly, it would be too costly to return this product since I'm an international customer from the West Indies. Also, I have observed visible defects (a circular looking spot) on several of the DVDs.
