Found some reviews on these, so far nothing positive on them....

MEdia comes in 50pack spindles. I was able to purchase a store rebundled 10 pack. Used 9 so far.
3 of speciments wouldn't complete a burn. 6 did complete a burn, but of those 4 were not completely readable. I was able to pull a directory off the discs, but attempts to read the data were mixed, as some files could not be read off the disc. The transfer would get to 30-50% and error out.
Despite media being rated for 1x-2x-4x, Nero only reports 2x being available for this media.
Additional information:
Burnt with LG GSA-4040B at 2x using firmware 302A.
Burning reliability is Poor.
PC reliability is Poor.
Media color is Purple.
Media text is unbranded.
Media package type is Cake Box. Number of discs 50.

Authoring/Burning comments:

The Ultran discs are the worst I've ever encountered.
Not only for drive compatibility but in error rates. Out of a 10pack, I had 5 that burned "successfully", 2 that didn't complete the burn, and 3 that I've not used yet. Of the 5 that completed a burned, 2 of those were unreadable. These weren't anything weird like game backups or movie copies, these were data backups burned as straight data DVDs. You'd be able to pull a clean directory read off them, but reading the actual files would crap out part way through on some files. Luckily, I checked these before putting them away.
Also, while rated for 4x, they won't burn faster than 2x on my drive. Admittedly, my drive is a bit picky on media (the infamous 4040B) but up until now, it still managed to do a functional burn, just at a slower speed. This is the first time I've encountered media that was semi-readable after a "successful" burn.
