![]() The LiteOn is not BDXL-ready, so those won't work there.įinally, my Panasonic UJ-260, with a manufacture date of December 2011, is the only drive where I throw any disc and it would burn and verify them without any issues. I got another one, but it's also not reliable to burn disc.įor both the LiteOn and LG drives, they can be used to read discs and will read them fine, with no errors. ![]() Sometimes it would read a disc, but the next ones would fail to read. My first LG drive actually had the BD laser diode die. The LG drive is newer but it also has issues burning discs randomly. I consider it unreliable since it failed to burn BD-Rs at different speed settings. The LiteOn drive is old and hasn't had any firmware update in years. These discs burned at up to 12x on the LG drive and 6x on the Panasonic drive. These discs have a media ID of CMCMAG-BA5. My next batch and the one I currently have is a ValueDisc 50pk BD-R. These discs actually worked, but IMGBurn shows them as "Empty" with an "Incomplete session". While every disc of that batch I threw on that drive burned, some failed with an error when writing the lead-out. Trying that same media on the LG WH14NS40, I had about 90% chance of success. The disc also worked fine with the LiteOn drive, which was unable to burn them properly. This drive, however, burned them and verified them. I then burned them on my old Panasonic UJ-260, which supported burning them at 4x, but it really just burned them at 2x the entire session. No matter the speed, it would fail, either on burning or on verifying at that 18GB mark. These discs failed to burn on the LiteOn Drive when it reached about 18GB of burned data. This is a Ritek subsidiary, so the media was made, of course, by Ritek. My first Blu-Ray batch I got last year was a SmartBuy 50pk BD-R batch. Several years later, because of my bad experience with a cloud storage provider, I switched to G Suite, which made sense to me since I also run my personal blog and have my emails there, but most importantly, I relied a lot on Google Drive to store my data.īefore Google announced the plan changes on G Suite, which hasn't really affected my account, I decided to give Blu-Ray discs another try, seeing that the 50pk dropped to just $20 dollars and the BD-R DL media also seemed to have dropped in price than how it was a several years ago. I got really mad at Blu-Ray discs that decided not to burn them again. Ritek, which manufactured them, seems to have had a production issue affecting some batches. I also got and used a SpeedX batch from Sams Club.įew year later, I found out that those Optical Quantum Blu-Ray discs were rotten. The discs I used where the Optical Quantum BD-Rs. I then went ahead and purchased a slim Panasonic UJ-260 to use in my laptops back then which accepted a 12.7mm drive. My father shared it with me, since he purchased it first. I have a LiteOn iHBS112 which worked great at the time, but it wasn't entirely mine. Previously, I was backing up data to DVD+R disc. So, a few years back, I started to archive data on Blu-Ray discs.
