    Memorex 8.5 GB 8 X Double Layer DVD+R - 50 Pack Spindle

    • I think the majority of the bad reviews are people with crappy software
    • After reading both good and bad reviews for these, I decided I would try them out, as Memorex had served me well in the past.
    • I was kind of hesitant to purchase this media, seeing how it had so many mixed reviews (some praise with alot of bad reviews).
    • Most negative reviews are from 2008 and some recent, but there were many other positive and giving recommendations
    • I was worried about buying these due to all the bad reviews but the price was just too good to pass up.
    • This is my first negative review of any product sold by Amazon.
    • I have heard much better reviews for the Verbatims and thought they cost more per disc if I get 10% failure
    • Despite a lot of poor reviews, I went ahead and got these anyway.
    • Despite the bad reviews, i was willing to take my chances with these disks
    • Keep up the bad reviews
    • I bought this product even though the reviews was bad, just to test out for the price
    • After reading so many negative reviews, I was almost spooked out of buying these from Amazon.
    • Some reviews claimed these disks were of poor quality, well the worked just fine for me
    • Don't overlook negative reviews because of a tantalizing price
    • I hate to write a scathing review but it 'burns' me to throw my money away like this (pun intended
    • I was aware of the bad reviews, but I just could not justify paying nearly $2 per Verbatim DL disc when I could split movies or burn data on 2 single-layer discs for less than 20 cents a disc (or 40 cents compared to $2 for the same capacity).
    • The replacement seems to work fine like the previous ones that led to this positive review
    • I ordered these with considerable trepidation based on the large number of negative reviews here.
    • After reading all the bad reviews, I ordered these discs being that they are a step up compared to the other crap ones that are cheaper in price and quality
    • When considering any customer review, if you are not happy with a product you are most likely to write a scathing review
    • The price for this pack caught my attention ($33) but I was very leary because of the negative reviews siting burn failures
    • It is possible that the people who gave bad reviews had bad results caused by the writer and not the disk
    • Despite the numerous negative reviews, I went ahead and purchased the Memorex DVD+R DL 50 pack because it was the best deal since the other reviewers noted they had success at a lower burn rate and I expected it to work with a slower burn speed
    • I figured it was a gamble buying these with all the poor reviews, but I never had a single problem burning any type CD or DVD ever with my equipment.
    • My belief is that many of those giving the Memorex discs such dreadful reviews simply haven't adequately troubleshot the failures.
    • I read some negative reviews on these DVDs but all the ones that I have used so far have worked out great.
    • This dvd dl disc are great and most of the people if not all that give it a bad review don't know what their talking about
    • So, for those of you who would post bad reviews, keep in mind, that most coasters are "self inflicted"
    • I was a bit hesistant to purchase it due to all the negative reviews
    • I had previously read the poor reviews but had not experience any problems myself, until now.

    • I purchased this product despite of some negative reviews.
    • I bought the Memorex dual layer discs despite the spate of negative reviews simply because the price of the next cheapest brand was prohibitive.
    • Why waste your money, just to say you purchased low-priced junk?UPDATE 7/4/2010: I read several other reviews that mentioned the need to slow the software to a lower speed in order to get these discs to work

    • Don't overlook negative reviews because of a tantalizing price
    • I believe most of the negative reviews were from people that burned at the max speed and came out with negative results

    • Please ignore all the BS 1-star reviews from people who don't do their research on how to burn a DVD correctly!

    • I should have trusted the other reviews.
    • I ordered these discs because of the great price despite some of the bad reviews because I figured that even if half the discs didn't write I would still have gotten an alright deal.

    • I have read similiar reviews and will not waste my money on memorex discs again.
    • After burning 150+ DVD+R
    • Pros:1-Double Layer DVD+R at 8.5 GB for a buck2-Silver and a handsome looking writable surface (with a permanent marker)3-Appears of a nice quality and no difference compared to other more expensive DVD+R DL4- Works fine with my Apple factory
    • I've been shopping for the least expensive DVD+R DL online, and found this Memorex 50 pack for around $50
