Verbatim CD-R 700MB 52X DataLifePlus White Inkjet Printable, Hub Printable - 50pk Spindle - 94755

These discs are good enough quality to satisfy old CD drives. They're great for the PS1 while the normal Verbatims you find on store shelves cause skipping and read errors- despite being burned on the same drive and speed. The printable label is nice but I just use a black Sharpie.

Great! Logged on to buy more!!

I have been purchasing Verbatim CD-R printable blanks for years for my business Hernandez Video Services. I convert any audio format (cassette, reel to reel, 8-track, LP Album) to CD and can duplicate CDs. This specific brand has been extremely reliable. In the 30 years I have never received a complaint from a customer of playability errors.

The CDs I have received are produced by Mitsubishi Chemical Company (MCC) and are blue azo dye based. I purchased a 50 pack of Verbatim DataLifePlus disks for audio CD burning. A device I wish to play burned disks in is very picky about burn quality. These DataLifePlus disks do produce a better quality burn over cheaper Verbatim branded CD-R produced by CMC. However, at the time of purchase the packaging shown in the listing stated the burn speeds as "1-52x". This is no longer true. The package I received only mentioned the *max* speed of '52x'. I reached out to Verbatim support and the speed range supported by these disks is 16-52x. Lower speeds like 1x, 2x, etc are not supported by the medium. While I am able to get my player to read a burned DLP disk, it struggles (the burning drive itself does matter as well, and I am still experimenting to see if I can reach a better quality). If you are not trying to burn specifically for weak old CD drives, then these are good optical disks.EDIT: after testing a Plextor PX-891SAF PLUS drive, it was able to write to the media at 8x speed. So while most drives I tested will not write below 16x, some will write at lower speeds.

A very good CDR. I've had no problem with bad sectors so far. It will be some time before I find it there are issues with bit rot, but the discs are supposed to last. If you need CDRs, this is an excellent brand, and fairly inexpensive.

I've ordered two kinds of these discs, the total Silver Inkjet printable and the Silver with the regular hub. Both have worked great for me. I only use these to burn Audio discs to play in CD players, and they have worked fine with my home stereo CD player (an old 2004 Sony), my Sony Blu-ray and my car (2014 Honda). I don't actually print on them with an inkjet printer, I just write and color them with Sharpies. They take Sharpie ink very well, and will work with probably any permanent marker really. I prefer the "Naked" surface of the silver discs, without all the branding.I have used almost 100 of them over the course of two years, and rarely had a disc not work. The only time I had an issue with discs not working was when I first got them, I tried to burn the discs at different speeds with the CD-burner. These discs work best when I just set the CD burner software to burn it at "Maximum Possible" speed. Whenever i set it to burn at a set rate or to burn slower, the discs would usually be messed up, with glitches on playback. Once I figured out that slow or set speed burns didn’t work very well, I’ve never had problem with discs not working (and just letting the burner do it’s thing automatically with “Max/variable speed”) I use a 2012 Macbook Pro with a Superdrive and a cheap external LG DVD burner. I think they are both 24X speed. Software I’ve used has been iTunes, XLD app, or Roxio Toast Titanium. The discs I burned previously have played fine months or a year later.So if you have issues with the discs not working right for Audio, check your burner settings and set it to " Maximum", “Best” or "Variable" speed. I think some discs and burners are just meant to work at variable speed. Also, if recording Audio, be sure to select "include CD-Text" so when playing it in the car, the track info will show up on the CD player.Anyway, I just re-ordered the SIlver Hub Printable ones because I like the full silver look and I'm starting to run low. These are very good value discs and the AZO coating is supposedly better to use than others. Recommended!

These Verbatim discs are made by Mitsubishi Chemical Corp using a Blue AZO dye. If you know what that means you know why it's a good thing. They burn perfectly in ImgBurn and Alcohol 120% and seem to be more reliable than the standard Verbatim discs made by CMC Magnetic. No coasters in this batch!

These work great in my Epson and HP CD printers. The inkjet printable surface also provides excellent protection if you use a standard marker to write directly onto the disk. Highly recommended!
