Reliability

Customers have had mostly positive experiences with the reliability of the Maxell DVD-R discs for data backup, but some have reported occasional failures after extended use. Many customers have used these discs for over a decade and have come to rely on them for their archival needs. However, a small group of purchasers have experienced issues with discs becoming unusable within a short period of time.

Compatibility

Customers have mixed feelings about Maxell DVD-R Discs' compatibility with various devices. While some report successful use in their computers and DVD players, others caution that not all formats are supported and recommend checking manuals before purchasing. Some customers also mention issues with packaging and broken spindles upon delivery. Despite these concerns, many continue to purchase the discs due to their long-term compatibility and ease of access for label identification.

Quality

These are a blast from the past, but work great!

I chose these cds and so far they are working well in my computer doing exactly what i need.

Read your manuals of said media products to see what formats are played/burned before buying blanks or media players/burners.

If they fail, you pretty much lose everything on it.

Price

I still intend to buy this item again and will order four of them this time, if the price remains reasonable.

Buy them and stock them whenever they're on sale.

The price of the items was more than reasonable, so it compensates for anything else that is wrong.

The box was a little large for the product with insufficient packing which allowed the product to role around in the box.

I have used about ten of the discs and have not found one that is unusable, so this may be much ado about nothing, but i was ki... Read More

Competitiveness

It is the most compatible with maxell discs and i have been using them for years.

I've tried other brands that have a much higher failure rate.

I have done the comparison of similar sizes of different brands and i keep going back to maxell.

I found other disc brands that worked as well but were too expensive and some that were lesser cost but did not work at all wit... Read More
