Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This disc worked fine with an LG GGW-H20L writer. However, it takes several hours to burn the whole disc at 2x. And the BD-RE is not competitive with hard drives given the 50 GB capacity. You can get a 250 GB SATA hard drive for about the same price as this disc as of this writing. The cost per GB should not be 5x that of hard drives.
August 10, 2009 update :
New star rating is one star only.
One year after purchasing it, this disc now gives systematic verification errors when used with the Imgburn program. The disc has had less than 20 full passes and was kept within its protective jewel case when unused.
I called Panasonic support about my problem, and they informed me that their parts only carry a 90 day warranty ! They wanted to charge me $64.99 plus shipping, which was more than what I paid for the original disc. And it's twice the price of a new one from this amazon vendor. Needless to say, I'm disgusted that a single disc that originally costs this much only has such a short warranty. I will not be buying any more discs from Panasonic. Buyer beware !
FYI, I tried to amend the star rating and change it down to one, but Amazon wouldn't let me change it ! I was told by an Amazon rep that this can only be done within 30 days ! Only the text can be changed after that. It doesn't make any sense. A lot of products can fail after 30 days. I'm considering deleting the original review and posting another one, but I haven't done that yet due to the fact that it was marked helpful. I may do so if more reviews are posted on this disc.
March 2010 update : Amazon got to their senses and the star rating can now be changed. Reducing to 2 stars.
