I've been purchasing these disc since 2007 and I had about 5 or 6 coasters since then.I used to purchase nothing but name brand media but it started to become costly so I gave these a try and I've been buying them ever since.These are great for burning and I never received any errors.

Great discs overall, burn flawlessly at 6x via my trusty old NEC 3540A and 3550A, scoring 93+% quality rating (checked via Nero). First disc didn't do so well because it was burned at 8x speed, resulting in high error rate. So burn slower, and these should work fine. Printed a few discs already & the quality is satisfactory. Thanks Shop4Tech!

Cheap and ok, but when I play it on my DVD, many problems occur. After I burn, look at the back of the Dis, There are some circle lines on the burn side. Which make problems when I play on my DVD player.

they are good so far from how much I have used, only dissapointment is they will not play on my xbox 360 so im assuming they may not play on many differ dvd players.

Less (way less) than 1% failure rate.
Great burn - very pretty printing.
Awesome discs.
Note: Don't wash disc, ever - I'm going to have to try (someday) the water resistant discs.
These are cheaper to re-burn & re-print than clean.

I've bought around 1000 of theses, 200 at a time so it's been different batches.
No coasters, burn great up to 12X.
Playback flawlessly on console DVD players.
One complaint:
A huge number (50-75%) of the burned DVDs (as movies) cannot be re-ripped on my computer, not even by the drive that burned them. (I ususally burn at 4X, so it's not a speed issue.) As this is not something I do often, I can't say how long this has been true. I do notice that both these and other media that give me this problem are all dark purple writting surfaces.
I also have not yet tried burning data and reading back. I will attempt this soon, as I have only recently discovered this issue, and primarily burn video discs.
Except for the re-ripping issue (which may or may not be a concern for your uses), I would recommend these without reservation.

I started to use these DVD's just over a year ago. I have never had a problem with writing to them ever. The price is great and no coasters. I have used over 400 and will be ordering more soon.

Decided to take a chance on these off brand blanks and was very
much surprised that Nero reports they are TYG02. Burn perfectly
on my NEC ND-3550A at 12X! Ordered 200 print to hub and not a
coaster yet and print is great and dries instantly. Just hope the next batch is just as good.

i have bought the ones with the matted finish like paper on the front and they burn alright but have trouble playing them, however these have a shiny smooth finish with a star icon on the front of the disc center and they are easy to write on and have burned at any speed i want and the only bad ones i have had is where i was trying to do to many things with my puter at the same time, im burnin, otherwise they are great, and im going to continue to buy them, i just got a new laptop and it is a dual layer dvd burner, for what thats worth, and they burn fine in it as well, so i have burned them in at least 4 different burners and they work fine, so as far as i can tell you wont go wrong, unless you have a puter that just isnt up to doing the burn to begin with, always have lots of ram, and no slow processor an i think you will be very pleased with these disc.

Another 100 PK. Burned 2 discs. Ran NERO test. Quality scores were 96 and 95. This products gets better and better. The printable surface improved a bit compared to the previous batches. Smoother and whiter surfaces. A+

Just got these in... Burned a couple without any problems. Saw that the media code is TYG02, surprised the fake ones are still around. The printable surface is very smooth and white.
I give 4 out of 5 stars only because of poor packaging job. The cake boxes were put in a box, wrapped around just once with bubble wrap. There was nothing to hold it from rolling around in the box. Opened up both cake boxes and saw that the center pole holding the discs in the cake boxes were BROKEN. When I took the cake box lid off, the discs when sliding everywhere. Thankfully, the discs were okay with no scratches, etc. Think the spindle (pole) was broken because of the packaging. Not a good experience.

After trying many types and speeds of inkjet printables, surpriseingly, the cheapest have turned out to be the best. I buy in 1K quantities and have had so few "bad discs" it's not worth mentioning. Certainly some may have been the burner. In the last 2000 discs there were about 6 that got trashed. Not bad compared to my previous experiance. At least I am finally reading and burning what an 8X should.

I have used several hundred of these disc. Average about 8% of disc received are scratched. One package of 25 had 12 missing with no reply from email sent to shop4tech. Other than that the disc are pretty good.

Sonic DVD-R 8X 4.7GB are great. I bought the Epson R220 inkjet printer to print covers on the disc, so I bought Sonic for the price. All of the disc I made came out good and I have printed 250 out of a thousand with only two coasters.

I have used hundreds and hundreds of these with great success (usually burning at 12X). However, they seem to have changed manufacturers because the batch of 100 that I just got (while clearing labels 8X on the hub, are consistently burning at 2X or 4X on my NEC 3500-AG 16X drive.
I am quite disappointed to be honest. This is the first time that I have had to question Shop4Tech quality as I have bought about 2,000 disks from them over the past two years.
I have to say though, that these are still a pretty good price even if you do have to burn at 4X.

one of the best dvd-r + shop4tech is one of the best online store. I already order more than 1000 of this dvd-r. What I like best is the price and the printable surface. I wish you guys can have a cheaper dvd case that can hold 6 dvd. I ordered from other online store a dvd case (only $27.00 for 50pcs. include shipping for dvd case that can hold 6 dvd) and when i check them half of them were damage due to shipping, and send them an email, but until now did not hear any from them. Not like shop4tech they take care of customer.

Ordered 300 more of these, taking advantage of the 10% off father's day special. Arrieved one day early than planned, thanks to Shop4Tech & UPS.
I have burned about 50 discs in the last couple of days. One coaster so far. Not bad. One thing is that you don't know what you are getting. These discs, although the same media code (TYG02), are different. The printable surface is not smooth and super glossy like my last order of 100. The printable surface is matte this time. It prints nice too, but not as nice as the super glossy surface...
I still give 5 stars for this product. The discs are reliable, have had no problem playing in 5 stand alone dvd players that I own (Sony, Panasonic, Cyberhome, Apex, and Hitashi). Two thumbs way up!!!

Have burned over 300 so far and ony 4 coasters. Got 6 4X in the last 100 8X I ordered. They still burned OK, just a bit longer to do so. Bought 100 for my son and so far no coasters for him. As far as I'm concerned a value for the price. The cost is such that I can record my wife's favorite TV shows on my Panasonic DVD recorder that saves space from using old VCR tapes. Big pus in finding programs, fast forwarding etc. They play on all my DVD players although my Panasonic DVD recorder doesn't like stuck on labels. They tend to not play once put a label on them. They play in all my other DVD devises with no problem. Would rather didn't come in cakeboxes as I have a ton to recycle.

Well at first I was not happy at all with these discs. I had been using 4x Matrix discs and have been extrememly happy with them. I decided to get an Epson R200 so I could print right on the discs, so I tried out these Sonics first. I guess it was just pure stupidity that I did not test the discs before I burned through a whole 50 pack. I guess I was so use to any DVDs working fine (over 500 Matrix discs from Shop4Tech without 1 single coaster) that I did not think to even test the first few of these Sonics without burning all the way through my first 50 pack. Well, with my Sony DW-U14A (with the latest firmware and the drive is listed on the compatiblity list for these discs) every single one of the 50 discs were coasters, they would burn fine without any errors at all, but most would not play at on any burner and the ones that did play had severe pixelation through about 95% of the disc. Needless to say I was not happy at all. Well, lucky for me I already had a new burner on the way from Newegg (Liteon SOHW-1693S which I flashed to the latest firmware (KS04)). This new burner worked perfectly fine with these discs. I just went through another 50 pack with this new Liteon burner and not a single coaster, nor did any of the discs have any serious read errors. Well, this was a hard lesson learned, so to all who are considering getting these discs make sure you get a small amount to test them first and make sure they are going to work with your burner. I think it would be a great idea if Shop4Tech would offer a "sample package" for all the discs they sell. Maybe have like 5 discs and offer cheap shipping..... It would be nice not to have to buy a 50 pack to find out if the discs are going to work with your burner. Anyways... aside from all that I must comment on the incredible printing surface on these discs, I think they have one of the best surfaces I have seen. Good luck to all with your disc purchases!
