Rating:  - * Watch out for shipping charges ... It appears that Amazon is no longer directly stocking these DVDs. If you do decide to order them from the vendor above, watch out for the exorbitant shipping charge which no longer makes these discs a bargain. Rating:  - * Burned very well in my T43 Thinkpad laptop ... I have burned about 50 DVDs with thisTDK spindle, and so far I have only one that was a coaster. I am very impressed with the quality. The burned DVDs play in my portable DVD player, and most of the electronics that I own. All the DVDs have been burned using the built-in DVD+RW burner that came with my T43 Thinkpad laptop. Highly recommended! Rating: - * Brand-name at a Decent Price ... Not much to say since they work. Only issue is on my wife's Dell laptop, these don't get auto-detected to burn at 16x but instead go at 8x or less. This may not be a huge problem for others. More notably, Memorex worked fine though. Overall, I like TDK for their quality and ruggedness. Rating: - * Good Deal ... Product just as described at a good price with very fast shipping. I highly recommend this item. I will return for future purchases. Rating: - * Great Value...Lousy 1 Star Amazon Shipping??? ... Here's a total reversal of my, and I believe most of Amazon's reviews: A product review marred by AMAZON'S shoddy packing and shipping. The discs are fine. Admittedly, I've only burned a few of them, but no problems so far, and what a buy for the money. Backed by Amazon's great return policy, they live up to the brand-name-you-can-trust theory of mail-order purchasing. For the first time, though, the shipment (which also included a USB thumb drive)came in an oversized box barely filled with any packing material, rolling and rattling alarmingly. The plastic wrap around the bottom had managed to tear open and the spindle was partially spilled inside the box. The discs seem to be burning okay, and since the shipment was delayed by weeks (Amazon randomly allows some items to ship to APO addresses, yet not others resulting in slow ship times to a physical address)I was unwilling to repeat the process in case some discs were scratched. So far so good. Keep this in mind, though it seems to have been a one-off phenomenon. I hate to ding the product on account of the tangentially-related shipping experience, but otherwise it would've been 5 stars for this purchase. |
