Great Value
Spent a lot of time and money trying to perfect my burning technique in order to create a wedding video for a client. Bought several discs from different companies, and paid a premium for them. None of them worked when I played them in my Xbox One or PS4, and I used several programs. I bought a spindle and burned several more. Though they didn't work in any of my game systems, they did work in a standalone Blu-Ray player. My rating is based on the fact I was able to send my clients their videos, and they weren't as pricey as the rest of the discs I bought.

Stop shopping around. Just get these!
Best discs I've ever used PERIOD. These BD-R are thicker and more rigid than competitors, less flimsy feeling compared to Memorex. The scratch coating on these makes them impervious to scratches. I've taken keys to them just to see if the scratch resistance was as good as advertised. It's better than I could have expected. After going at them with keys, a few rubs on my shirt, and you can't even tell the disc has been touched. If you're getting bad burns with these, you either got the LTH version or you need a new burner. I've burned over 300 of these and have yet to have a bad burn. Shelf life is supposed to be 25 years, compared to 3-5 years for DVD+R. 23.3GB of space on data disc. Best media for archiving. There's no need to shop around anymore. Just get these!!!!

Burned a dozen so far, only misburn was my own fault
Burning discs with a Pioneer BDR-XD05 external USB drive (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IEX9KNI) and with a UJ272 9.5mm (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GSXXN3W) internal laptop SATA drive. Only misburn was with the Pioneer, and it was most likely caused by my attempting to move the laptop off my lap and over to the sidetable that the drive was sitting on. Otherwise all other burns (Debian Linux and Devuan Linux using Xfburn) have been fine. I bought the media to archive photos, RAW 24 megapixel images eat up space fast and I wanted an offline backup to sore offsite. They appear to fit the bill.

Highest quality
I've been using Verbatim media going back to the 70's. I don't have as much experience with Verbatim blu-ray as with other media, but have no reason to think the quality is any less. Offhand I can't recall the last time I burned a coaster with Verbatim, although of course that can always happen on occasion for one reason or another. IMO you can't go wrong with Verbatim.

Blu-ray + hard drive storage.
The 25GB Verbatim 6X Blu-ray disks are part of my standard hard disk + Blu-ray business backup routine. I've been burning these disks for years using the freeware ImgBurn on various Win machines. I've never had a coaster after 100+ Blu-rays. I'm a photojournalist and file the disks with the paperwork for long term storage, but use external hard dives for quick access. CD disks are too low capacity and degrade over time. DVD disks are better, but still too low capacity. Blu-ray disks are fairly permanent, compact, relatively inexpensive and easy to burn. Five stars.

Buyer Beware Incompatible Media Error!
Buyer Beware! These disc are no longer recognized by any of the software mentioned in this review, they read as Incompatible Media. After upgrading my computers operating system from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10 Pro. I read several reviews that stated that these Verbatim disc weren't recognized by the new Windows 10 OS and would not work. So, I switched to the Optical Quantum OQBDR06LT-50 6X 25GB BD-R after reading all of the positive reviews on them. My results were very frustrating to say the least, many weren't recognized as being blank and the ones that were, produced nothing but, stuttering, freezing, useless coasters, I threw them in the trash and marked that experience up as a loss! I decided to give Verbatim a try again and am I happy I did. The Disc ID on these discs is VERBAT-IMe-000. This means that Verbatim actually manufactured these discs, in addition they are branded HTL which means High Quality and hopefully long shelf life. Windows 10 OS, IMGBurn and DVDFAB 9.2 not only recognize these disc, together they produce perfect audio and video reproductions. They playback perfectly in my Sony BDP- S5100 blu-ray player and upscale to near 4K on my Sony X81C 55" 4 K TV. Pay a little more and get the quality product you expect, I'm happy so far to be back with Verbatim!

Disc ID: VERBAT-IMe-000 Good stuff made by Verbatim
The Disc ID on these discs is VERBAT-IMe-000. That means Verbatim themselves actually made these discs. They did NOT farm these out to CMC, the worst optical media manufacturer. Verbatim often farms out to CMC. Their CD-R's, their Life series DVD-R and DVD+R, and their BD-RE are CMC. CMC DVD recordable media fail to burn 50% of the time. Of those that do burn, they fail about 50% of the time to pass a verify of burnt data. Of those that do verify, 50% of them are not recognized as playable in a stand alone player. The DID on these discs is the same as in the 10 packs and in the 25 packs. I've been using those for almost 3 years now and I've yet to have one that failed to burn or failed to verify.

They Worked For Me.....
I got these to have a few disks on hand that would give me larger capacity than the 4 gig DVDs I normally use. Being this was my first use of Blu-Ray type black disks, I was a bit surprised by the feel of these disks. What I mean by that is these disk feel heavier and more solid than the DVD disks I'm used to. For people that use a Blu-Ray burner a lot that might not mean anything but to me the disks felt better than standard DVD+RWs like I normally use. I tested one of these under Windows 10 and used it just like I had my DVDs and CDs and it burned off the items I wanted using the Windows File Manager to copy them and then selecting "burn" from Explorer's drive menu. It burned the disk off without a problem or any error notices. I ejected the disk and put it back in and was able to read it with a problem. Seems like a really sold disk to me.

Top quality product, five stars
I've bought several of these in both 25-pk spindles and a 50-pk spindle once. To me, Blank Media is very much "You get what you pay for" and SONY and Verbatim are the only optical media I will buy. Some things of note though: 1) it's really closer to 23GB of free space when you burn these, due to binary counting. 2) Many people talk of coasters but sometimes if you burn them at the highest speed your software can burn, that will make them more prone to burn errors. Therefore I generally burn at a slower speed and I probably have a 99% success rate as a result. In closing, highly recommend!
