Has anyone tried these? Are they more Life Series or DataLifePlus? Is the printable surface full face?
Extra Credit: Anyone have a disc that can pull a media ID and/or country of manufacture?

Even if not the above discs, does anyone have any BDXL blank recommendations (or discs to stay away from)? Obviously these discs are expensive, so coasters are the last thing you want.

$45 each?

Historically, all current media from Verbatim is made in Sigapore in the Mitsubishi plant. I think all of the BD-R are still like this, while the DVD+R/DVD-R, DVD+R DL and CD-R are made in the other locations (India, Taiwan, UAE). At one point, DVD+R DL was only in Singapore. Before that, the DVD-R and DVD-R. Before that the CD-R.

Singapore Mitsubishi media is all "DataLifePlus quality", noting those are meaningless name brands. (They used to not exist.)

All MKM/MCC media is good.

Right now, I'm, saving everything to 2TB Fantom drives.
Those are about $130 each. http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=U...ch-alias%3Daps

I'd only get 3 discs for the same $$$.

For all the other formats I gotcha..but BDXL I have never bought or tried before. They used to be $60-$100 each. I have one project for which a 100GB disc would come in handy, but I do not want a $45 coaster or a disc that will be unreadable in a few months.
