New SAMSUNG DVD-R

[thxtof]

This DVD-R looks pretty good, and $1.49 sounds like a good deal.
According to www.meritline.com:


LONG DATA LIFESPAN
Samsung Certified DVD-R discs are archiving with a life expectancy of more than 100 years when stored at room temperature. If you need a DVD-R that you can trust for 100 years plus with your precious memories or important data, SAMSUNG DVD-R is it! Used by several government organizations like NASA, SEC, FAA etc due to dependable, no-compromise level of quality. ...

Had Anyone a chance yet to use ADVINFO to check who is the manufacturer ?

I was about to start a new thread on the same subject...

It seems like a good deal, could be better if the media was 2X

Please someone test this media and post results here!

:D

cya!

a non-generic media at 1.50$ is relieveing. i'll probably switch to this soon. (to hell w/ ppl thinking samsung is generic).

Looks like this media is produced by 'Zirex' -- http://www.samsungzirex.com/products-dvdr.html

Too bad they don't have a cheap x2 DVD-R available as well :(

apparnetly samsung electronics spinoff........still samsung and not a 3rd party contractor right?

[jesoonster]

- BeAll is a legally independent company from Samsung, however Samsung invested a lot to BeAll.
