Philips DVD+R DR8S8J05C - DVD+R DL 8.5 GB, 240 min, speed 8x(Packaging may vary)

These use the same dye as Verbatim. They are as reliable and long-lasting as any other disc at a fraction of the price.

I’ve always preferred DVD+R, much more reliable than DVD-R, these appear to be as reliable as my usual single-layer DVD+R choices 😎👍.Only used 2 so far, but both burned perfectly and reading from them was just as perfect, no issues whatsoever 😊.Ideal for data backup and MUCH more reliable than BD-R or DVD-R 👍.

I bought a 25-pack of these in February 2019 and have used them during 2020. They seemed to write OK during the early part of the year (I always use "write verification", by the way), but recently, they have constantly failed, half a dozen or so at the moment. I like to back-up stuff on optical discs on at least two different makes of disc, and just as well!Failure on these was occurring, as for another reviewer, at about 80% in, but then others were failing as early as 50% in. Another burner confirmed it was the Philips DL DVD+Rs at fault.The second make of disc I've been using is Verbatim, and these have been perfect every time - so, better to make two Verbatim copies than only one, plus a Philips one.Today, I was checking through some of the Philips back-up discs I had written during the earlier part of this year (2020), and although OK at the time of them having been written, alas, I've found one that cannot now be read, so these discs are totally unreliable and cannot be trusted.It's too late to return them, and I'm not willing to risk using these discs any more, so unfortunately, I'm going to have to ding out the remaining ones!My advice to you all: DO NOT USE. Sorry, sellers, no offence, but this is how it is. You are taking a big risk selling these discs. It's a real shame, because Philips has always had such a good reputation, for decades and decades. My very first CDRs in the 1990s were Philips gold ones, and they were superb. Maybe there are just bad batches of these dual layer DVD+Rs, but I'm not going to be the one to spend days and days testing them.TTFN, and stay safe, everyone.

Excellent value and works well :)

Thank you

Not to bad, have enough space on them but not all of them would work properly

I’m very happy with my order
