IMHO, you should avoid looking into those discs. I'm sure you can source discs made by Verbatim, Maxell or TDK;

from your location though, I last used those medias about a decade ago when I was burning my content and archiving them for personal use.

+ as my colleague above has stated they mean nothing apart from giving you a false sense of security. The reason I suggested that you avoid them is due to my assumption that you're getting them to backup your mission critical info, if so, might want to invest in a reputable brand/company. A little word of caution, a burner with a dirty lens can ruin your disc or your burn + make sure you burn at the slowest speed to avoid any writing issues.

Those Discs are very cheap compared to Brands like Vebatim.Are there any difference between individual Verbatim DVD Blank disks with Jewel case and 50 discs Shrink wrap bundle disks ? (Verbatim for example)

FYI : There are two types of Maxell brand disks available in the market.expensive one and cheap one.same brand,same model. (i think made in Japan and Taiwan)

Hello

When searching for Blank DVD Recordable discs i noticed manufactures mention details about "Grade" like .. A,A+,AA, .. etc

Example:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32825151178.html

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32805184985.html

https://gzronc.en.made-in-china.com...de-a-16X-4-7GB-Princo-DVD-Disc-Blank-DVD.html

So what is that ?

I couldn't find details about that.

Please help
Thanks

Just made up garbage they throw in.

These aren't even good prices! Verbatim 50-pack spindles can be found at Amazon under $20 and you can buy your ultra-cheaply made ones there even cheaper and shouldn't be any worse than the AliExpress ones.
