 About 33% Bad so far.. April 18, 2006
34 out of 40 found this review helpful
Initially when I read these reviews, I thought.. eh, must be people who do not know how to use their dvd writers.. I thought TDK was a brand you could trust. Personally I always loved their cassette tapes and blank cds.
Well, after using about 15 discs, 5 were bad. During ther burning process everything seems to be fine. Play it back and you will know what I am talking about. All the errors are in the same spot and you can visually see it.
Where the TDK logo is on the disc, when you flip over the disc, you can see that the burn screws up right there. (Kinda looks like someone put a slim cigarette out on that spot)
STILL, giving TDK the benefit of the doubt, I tried with my other DVD writer. Same exact problem.
I own a SONY Writer and an NEC Writer..
I do not blame the drives anymore..
Usually when I purchase blanks I really shop around and go with generic brands with great ratings, but due to the matter of convenience, I used amazon to make this purchase figuring a few more dollars for a name brand, I won't lose... I was wrong.
Just buy another brand, this one is not for you.
 Best DVDs I have ever used December 9, 2005

I have used several brands of blank media and have tried to avoid this TDKs becuse of a bad review posted a long time ago. Recently, and because I had no choice, I had to order some of these and found them to be the very best I have used. I burned several at 16x using a NEC ND-3540A just to see if they could stand that speed and all of them turned out very well. I am burning them at 12x now but that just to be safe.
Before trying these I had been using Verbatim but these are way better.
Oh, and the price is just the icing on the cake.
TDK doesn't honor their warranty September 10, 2006

I bought this 100 disc spindle and was unable to get them to work on a brand new dual layer unit. I wrote TDK customer service via email. They told me to send the spindle back for a replacement. It is now almost 6 months and 2 emails later and no response from TDK. I will never purchase products from a company that fails to honor their warranty regardless of price.
Media Code Varies = Random Quality August 3, 2006
18 out of 20 found this review helpful
I have used these TDK DVD-R discs regularly in the past and never had any problems with them. At the time the media ID was either TTG02 or TTH02 which are rated as "first class media: almost flawless burns with 95-100% reliable results".
However, to my disappointment my last spindle of discs had the media ID: CMC MAG AM3 which is "4th class media: pathetic garbage media, landfill material, about 0-50% success rate". This is the same media code as Staples house brand dvd-rs which I bought for $3.00 for a 50 disc pack during their sale.
Because it's impossible to know what media code you'll be purchasing and the trouble of returning opened media - I suggest staying away from this product. For the same price get TY's or Verbatims and know that you'll have a disc that will burn flawlessly and will outlast most others.
 Good disks but make sure your burner supports them December 13, 2006

In case you are wondering why some people have no problems and others can't use them, in most cases its how burner supports them. Note that the TDK gray -R disks are CMC MAG AM3 media
Bought 100 pack and a new Samsung sh-s182/Sony DRU-830A 18x burner. disks were unburnable at any speed other than 4x and the burner could not read my burns using Fuji Disks. Exchanged the burner for a Liteon SHM-165P6S and it burns the TDKs at 16x with only 1 coaster out of 60 burns (and I was encoding a video and d/l at same time). Looked at the firmware of both drives and found that they support certain media and not others.
NEC, Sony, Samsung DO NOT like TDK disks, Lite-On loves them. Lite-On firmware supports them the other's firmware doesn't list them.
Likewise there are disks that the Samsung/Sony burn fine but the Lite-On chocks on. And it depends on which model of the drives, some Lite-On do not like them and some Sony's do.
While there are some off brand disks that are poor, TDK is not among them. However, which burner and model of burner you have makes a big difference. Before buying disks do two things:
1 - check which disks your burner's firmware supports
2 - check how those disks have performed with your burner: club.cdfreaks.com and www.hardware.info both have extensive results posted by users on media and burners.
