DATASAFE Gold DVD-R Media
 

Has anyone used these DVD media?
are they good, coz they are damn cheap. I need to know coz im thinking of buying a ten pack for my PS2 backups.

Thanks guys.:) :) :) :)

They are more expensive than Traxdata, I would go for Traxdata as they work np.

Where to buy Traxdata DVD-R in UK
 

Ok guys,

so where can i get these media from?
Is there an internet link somewhere?
and what type of model should it be?

thanks:)

another quick response :D

www.blankdiscshop.co.uk or www.bigpockets.co.uk

great, just bought some DATASAFE RITEK pack of ten.
The Traxdata are out of stock:(

will try these as they state they use the same dye as the traxdata's.:) :)

Good luck with the Ritek.... I have heard a couple of people say they SUCK.....:(

kyle,

Post back with your ritek results I wouldnt mind finding out what they are like

:D hmmm, wonder if that had anything to do with my bulk order? - at bigpockets anyway :D

Hi I just tested my Traxdata DVD-R's with a program called ADVDinfo and this is what it came up with.

Meaning that these are Ritek Generation 3's but rebadged as Traxdata hope this helps.

please note both are tdk g2 but some numbers are differenet(if u look dye on both disks they r different)
both disk wor/dont work with ps2
fws has better success rate then they chioces on older ps2
personally stick with the traxdata

although datsafe dvdr same dye traxdata manufactured by ritek are alot cheaper i order 10 soon c if they are exactly same disk
anyone got any theses dist and can post the info on them ?
