Hi, I was browsing Ebay UK, and come across a few brands like Maxwell, Philips, TDK, DataSafe, TuffDisk. Which are good brands you would suggest I should look for?

Edit: I found a few - Any good?:

TDK is a reliable brand.

Anything else? If not, I'll go with the TDK.

I've never had any problems with Maxell, Sony or Verbatim.

I have been using Verbatim exclusively for the last 4 years. No problems with either DVD+R (4.7GB) or DVD+R DL (8.5GB).

Avoid Memorex.

Verbatim is a great brand. i have burned thousands of dvd and i would say that they are the best but expensive.

i recently switched to ridata from newegg and they have been great and cheep. i have used them for at least a year now and have had a few problems with data retrieval but i am not sure that it was the media at fault.

remember that the burner you use has a lot to do with reliability, not just the media.

I've had good luck with LG, Verbatim, and TDK. Avoid Memorex, as sminlal said above though.

 

[godbrother]

Alrigty then. I'll go with the TDK ones, they seem to be the cheapest out of the bunch. Are they any good for their DVD's? I want it to store data for at least a few years.

Regards.

 

[godbrother]

Hmm, I just checked and Verbatim is a few bucks cheaper then TDK, should I get those instead? Are they a match to TDK?
