Default Dvd-rs


 
What's the best disc out of these three ,as blankdiscshop as stopped selling traxdata dvd-rs .


FWS 4X DVD-R

Ritek Branded 4x DVD-R (purple on top)

Ridata 4X DVD-R

All use the ritek G04 dye.Which are best ,I would assume G04 dye is all the same ,but it seems not to be like that.Got some Arita Ritek G04 here and there crap.Keep getting bad burns on them.Ps2 game wouldent boot on one ,neither would a xbox game ,never had any probs with the traxdata.

Some of them use B-Grade quality dyes and so even though they are Ritek G04 they don't work as well. I would only trust the ones from Ritek/Ridata themselves as they come straight from the factory. I have been using Ridata for quite a while now and they are just the same quality as the Unbranded Ritek silvertops.

The Riteks and Ridatas carry the exact same Grade A dye that Traxdata did. So you are getting the exact same discs.
