Optical Quantum 25GB 6X BD-R 25 Packs Discs for $6 AR/AC

[jlin101]

Newegg has Optical Quantum 25GB 6X BD-R 25 Packs Discs for $30.99 - $15 promo code AFNJ0337 (ends 3/10) - $10 rebate = $5.99 (or 24 cents per disc). Owner's review is mixed. Personally I've never used this particular model, but have had great success with Optical Quantum 4x BD-R's for the last 3 years (burned over 300, mostly at 8x, using an LG WH08LS20). Only ONE rebate per customer, but you can buy up to five spindles at $16 each AC, still making it the lowest priced 6x BD-R at the egg.

Newegg's been offering various rebate deals on blank media. This would be a good time to stock up. Industry analysts predict an at-least-double increase of blank media prices in the coming months, due to falling demand of optical media, which led to many disc manufacturers quitting the business, which in turn resulted in dwindling supply of blank media.

I had good luck with these disks.

Thanks. I've burned the Optical Quantum 4x BD-R as well in my ASUS (Liteon clone) and they have scanned perfectly fine. I guess for $6 it's worth trying the 6x to see how they do.

In for one. Given some of the reviews it may be a gamble. Then again it's effectively $6.

Burned a lot of the 4X variety. Coasters were mostly my fault.

I always burn 4X speed regardless if my blu ray burner or disks can go faster.

Try burning at 8x sometime. I leave my LG WH08LS20 on AWS (using Imageburn) and it burns at 8x most of the time (once in a while it automatically burns at 4x even though the disc was detected as 4/6/8x). I've never had any issue playing the discs in a BR player.
