Verbatim 4.7 GB up to 16x Branded Recordable Disc AZO DVD-R 50-Disc Spindle 95101
I got this spindle specifically for an additional backup of my photos. From my previous experience with Verbatim DVDs I ‘ve gotten an impression that they are some of the most reliable recordable optical media that I’ve used, good enough for most of my archiving purposes. I also chose these particular DVDs based on their Amazon reviews and ratings, and so far I have not been disappointed.
Since I got them I’ve gone through about a dozen DVDs and have not had a single corrupt disk. I’ve burnt all of the DVDs on two of my Mac computers – one with an internal superdrive and one with an external USB-attached superdrive. I’ve tested the burned DVDs on both my Mac and Windows computers, and they have all worked just fine.
The DVDs look well made and decently durable. I’ve been burning CD-R and DVD-R for well over a decade, and so far I have not had any issues with corrupt disks in the long run. However, I still use couple more backup options for the most important documents – a small Windows Home Server and now Amazon Cloud drive. In the near future I intend to try out some of the “indestructible” DVDs as well, but for now I think that my backup options are secure enough for my needs.
