Cheap blank Blu-ray discs - Blu-ray Forum

DrasticPlastic · 12-04-2009, 01:12 PM

We should start a thread that has links to places selling blank blu ray media for cheap. I'm in search of some good deals on dual layer media, other than ebay. If anyone can point me to someplace selling discs for under $10 each that would be great.

I've been waiting for this to go down too...a quick search on New Egg revealed that $16.99 is the cheapest they have for a 50GB disc...

If you buy in bulk (10 disks) they can be had for $10 and under on ebay.

I've used these guys several times for 50gb disc.

I usually get my 25gb discs from Fry's. They have 15 pack cake boxes from Memores,Philips, or Ridata for $20-$30 on sale frequently.

Fry's has Maxell 25GB 15-pack for $25 starting today.

kroorda · 12-04-2009, 08:58 PM

The other day, I saw 50GB BD's on Amazon for around $13.50 ea.

Amazon's price for 25 GB BD's is around $3.35 ea

I need to get a Blu-ray burner for making promotional copies of my work. Good to see that the media is dropping down in price. But it's still too much for my taste. Then again, I was paying like $20 for a 4 pack of DVD-Rs back when I had gotten my first DVD burner back in 2003. Good, there was always one that would end up being a coaster.

The following seller sells BD-R DL for 15 cents/GB ($7.70 per disc) which is the same price per GB as DVD-R DL. And they are Verbatim. So, it is very reliable. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=300368601798

How reliable is Maxell? Will I likely get coaster? Will it retain its data after 10 years?

I ordered those from that seller and must say I highly reccomend him. Even the the discs were repackaged, meaning not in the original jewel cases, they were put into dual sided plastic dvd sleeves wrapped in bubble wrap and had the original disc packaging wrapped around that. I burned half the pack last night and had one disc that only burned at 1x then failed half way through, whereas the rest of them burned just fine at 4x on both of my different LG burners. I emailed the seller to let him know of my bad disc and I was offered either a refund of the cost of one disc, or a discount on a future purchase... I elected for the refund and had the money refunded very quickly. The discs are labeled at Mitsubishi, but are actually verbatim discs and they work great. I will definitley be purchasing from this seller again in the future.

Mitsubishi = Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation = Verbatim

I see... well I love Verbatim discs, I prefer them over all others.

The Media code for Maxell is Ritek_BR02, which is the same as the Memorex from Frys. I have good results from >10 burns on the Maxell, but I did have a 6% failure rate from Memorex.

As for your second question, you will have to wait ~9yrs to get the answer

What kinda problem you are facing with your 6% from memorex
is this memorex old memorex or new memorex
old one:bluish and it says 1-4x
newest: grayish blue 4x

DarknessBDJM · 12-09-2010, 06:34 AM

I get mine from Sandy Yang on E-Bay. They are very reliable, you can get a 100 pack of 4x disks for 100 bucks. I've never had a problem with them no matter how many times I've used a disk (unlike with other brands like Ritek). They burn and play back fast.
