5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent find, just purchased more!, 2 Jun 2011
By Bryan Coughlin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: DIGISTOR 50GB BD-R Media, 6X (25 pack)
Summary: Burns at 2.4x - 4x on LG WH10LS30K (in NexStar NX NST-530S2). I haven't had a single issue and have been able to play the media on every blu-ray player that I have tried (Panasonic, Sony, Vizio, Samsung, PS3) Fantastic buy!
This is my first review, I just felt the need to defend these discs. I recently purchased LG's WH10LS30K (Burner), Vantec's NexStar DX NST-530S2 (5.25 External Case) and went searching to the best deal on BD-R 50's. I stumbled across these and was hesitant to purchase at first. There aren't enough reviews, and the ones that are posted are mixed results. I figured why not give it a try and post my results on here.
Using my LG WH10LS30K, I burned all 25 discs flawlessly @ 2.4x-4x. I have since purchased two additional spindles with the same results. I'm buying the 100 pack next time I order to same some extra money. I highly recommend these discs.
If you are having issues with these discs it's more likely an issue with your computer/burner than the discs themselves.
Here are some helpful tips.
- Ensure your drive's FW is updated
- Slow your write speeds. I burn at 4x, sometimes 2.4x (on images over 40GB)
- Set the layer break. Most errors occur as your reach peak write speed and the edge of the disc. Leave 1-2GB of free space on the first layer to prevent this.
- Close unused background applications/processes.
- DO NOT touch, move bump or use your computer after pressing that "Burn" button. Burning large amounts of data takes resources, why risk a $5 disc just so you can check your email or facebook? As soon as you click "Burn", just walk away.

No problems using this media. Good value., 21 Mar 2011

This review is from: DIGISTOR 50GB BD-R Media, 6X (25 pack)
At first I was concerned because this is a really low price for 50GB blu-ray media.
I have read where Blu-ray media from different vendors may or may not work with various Blu-ray writers. So I emailed Digistore to see if this media was compatible with my new LG Blu-ray writer. They said it was, and indeed it is.
So far I have had no problems. I also liked the fact that their support people answered my email so fast.

Has Worked Like A Charm!, 23 Dec 2011
By Daniel Webster "Pocketnow" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: DIGISTOR 50GB BD-R Media, 6X (25 pack)
These discs are a great value and made to a very high standard. I have had discs manufactured by Memorex in the past (that were twice the price) and a few of them had failed due to manufacture defects (tiny dimples on the write surface of 4 discs in two spindles of 25). The only issue I have had with these discs is that they are not compatible with some LG drives. I just use my LG burner now for 25GB discs and bought a Pioneer BDXL drive for the dual layer 50GB Digistor discs. They write quickly and playback without a hitch. I have bought Digistor discs in the past and they have always held up to my needs.
