cynicalbastard a écrit:A quick comparison, in order of importance (to me):
*Native drag-n-drop/ copy / paste (no crappy unreliable packet-writing software!).
*Selective erase/edits (like a HD/USB stick) without erasing a new disc and writing small changes to a disc in a "burning program"
*In-built verification of written data after it's written
*Reliability - far more robust error correction/bad sector mapping, etc.
Longevity:
----------
DVD-RAM = 100,000 rewrites*
DVD+RW = 1,000 rewrites (if you're lucky)
I have used one Panasonic 3x disc for 2 years now daily in my LF-M621 (SW-9572) without ONE issue.
*at least that's what's claimed for cartridge media, I have heard 10,000 for bare media like the latest 16x and other bare 5x.
All in all, DVD-RAM is one of those RARE things that exceed my expectations on almost every level and make me glad to be a user of technology that puts the user first, quality first (but still at a VERY reasonable price), and not thrust some half-baked, overhyped, afterthought movie-industry format for the masses to save their data to.
What it does it does exceedingly well and it looks like it will continue doing it for some time.
Yes, it IS a damn shame the cartridge is going the way of the dodo in new formats, and current DVD-RAM, too. Dust, fingerprints, susceptibility to damage with poor handling, etc. Awful..

We will now run a disc quality scan on our burned media using the Lite-On SHM-165H6S and CD-Speed version 4.50. We should mention that this should not be necessary under normal use of DVD-RAM media, as the drive will automatically check the disc for errors as it writes.
The test results are inconclusive and we make no claims to the veracity or accuracy of the test.

So I can't really say that Verbatim, or Maxell, or Panasonic are any better then each other.
What I *CAN* say is I've never seen any of those three fail a transfer rate test.
I *HAVE* seen an Optodisc DVD-RAM fail a transfer rate test (well, it had a slow down... *I* count that as failing).
I've also never heard anything bad about Panasonic, Maxell or Verbatim DVD-RAM.... so at this point I'd say go with the cheapest 5x disc in your area (unless you REALLY don't care about speed).
These drives cannot read from or write to DVD-RAM2 media, and inserting a DVD-RAM2 disc into one of these drives can cause unpredictable behavior, including the following two possibilities:
The media may be ejected automatically while it is still spinning at high speed (up to 1600 rpm).
CAUTION: If the disc is ejected automatically, DO NOT TOUCH IT until it has completely stopped spinning.
The disc may be spinning very fast, and could injure your fingers.
