Along with the normal backup duties; creating Backups of home movies, MP3 compilations, computer files and all the other data files that bog down a modern PC. I shoot a lot of digital photos and shooting Raw at 10mb per photo I use a lot of DVD discs. I easily fit a standard shoot 4GB of Raw files and Edited Print and Web Ready JPG images. To play it safe I usually make 2-3 discs per shoot so I have more than a few stored in different cases.
Out of roughly a dozen 100 disc spindles and more than a few 25 or 50 spindles I avg 1-2 bad discs per 100 usually due to pc failure or user mistakes. I have not had any known issues with the discs.
I do not know about their longevity yet, but some of my older discs are pushing 5 years old and still play fine.
.I have used multiple brands from pro to generic and so far these without a doubt have been king of the hill. If you watch for sales and rebates their price is often comparative if not better than generic brands making them unbeatable.. Out of 5 stars I would give them 6.

No better quality than Memorex

Disappointed to learn it is manufactured for Sony by Ritek. Sony used to manufacture its own media, which was top quality. This Ritek media is considered Class 2 media. Ok for video copies, but not archieval quality like Verbatim. Why spend premium prices for the Sony name, when Memorex media by the same manufactuer (Ritek) is considerably cheaper?
Checked burn quality using a Nero utility. Disc Burn quality=64/100. PI failures=8, Avg PI failure=.97

Great for all types of data. B/U of DVD collection and other movies work better than many other brands and in more DVD players. I usually buy them on sale for [$] and always the entire store stock.
