Advantages: I find Maxell to be a reliable DVDR producer Disadvantages: None as yet
...There is no denying that Maxell is a budget to mid price range product, but unlike others similar brands the images stored on the discs do not dilute or weaken with time, I have 5 year old discs that have not become dodgy over time. But in the similar amount of time I have had Ritek, Bulkpaq, and even Sony discs that have experienced difficulties. The most common deterioration problem is that you get a percentage of the way through the disc and suddenly ... ...a series of weeks and Maxell discs have become less temperamental than others.

Well the only catch may be that you have to buy 100 of these in one go i.e. use them a lot. Performance: In fact after the first few I do use them ... ...has failed. It is a shame that my stand-alone LiteOn DVD recorder can only do 8X max with these 16X media. It is a breeze to record to them and all recordings are still retrievable since they were recorded in early 2006. The same applies to my photos data etc with my NEC and Samsung DVD writers (internal drives with my PCs). Since they are so good in performance, I went a bit mad that I have backed up a lot of my DVDs to be used in my portable DVD ...
