Verbatim DVD+R DL 8.5GB 25Pk White Wide Ink Jet 8x

Verbatim Double Layer Discs provide a massive 8.5GB ( 2.6 for 8cm products ) storage capacity. The double layer of recording has been made possible by the creation of a new substrate layer that sits in between each recording layer that allows the laser beam to record on both layers. Once the first layer has been recorded the laser refocused ( re focused ) to record on the second layer.

As well as the latest speeds Verbatim media is also available with a printable surface. Colours printed onto the disc surface are now as rich and deep as the original. Wide printable surfaces are also available so an image can be printed right up to the central hub of the disc surface.

There are several methods currently used to indicate the speed of flash memory products. Some brands use megabytes per second (MB/s), while some use a digit followed by “X” (eg: 16x for DVD or up to 300x for some memory cards). To cover all bases some even use both!
However, it can be quite difficult for consumers to gauge what a particular “X” rating actually means, and what rate of data transfer it represents. So to give a clearer picture the following table adopts the standard used to measure CD speeds (1X = 150KB/sec) and applies it to a variety of Verbatim products.

Speed*

Strictly speaking, the performance of Flash memory products should not be measured with the same “X” classifications as CD/DVD products as the technologies are quite different. However, as many customers request this sort of comparison, many companies have informally adopted the CD speed measurement (1X = 150KB/sec) and applied this information to Flash memory products.
**The speeds indicated are achievable in a testing laboratory environment. Actual performance may vary and will depend upon the hardware / software specifications / settings of the device in which the item is used.
