Use verbatim's they may cost a little more but are well worth it.

I've had most success with SONY and verbatim. I've had bad experiences with maxell.
Different writers work better with different media.

Can't comment on DC, but PS2 has a strong laser and will read anything that has been written error free. There are two proncipal issues with media.

1 Durability

Coated media provide protection against scratches. Verbatim and Sony lead the way here.

2 Burnability

Weak burner lasers produce doubtful results on certain media - Black surfaces for example. The temptation to burn fast exposes this weakness even if the manufacturer claims 16x but it is not one of the top brand proven burners.

Hi,

Without a doubt the best media for backups is Verbatim Datalife plus media, with there dark blue layer they are the best.

Cheers

Dal
