These work fine, but do your due dilligence
The issue with burning BD, DVD and even CD media goes back decades. Once burning starts, it can't be stopped. If the computer cannot keep up feeding data to the drive during the burn, that is it, you have created a coaster. When you create a "coaster", the problem is usually the media, the optical drive, or the computer itself. When buying cheap no-name media (no insult to the seller), you need to make some concessions to help guarantee a successful burn.1 - Burn at the slowest possible speed. This will help increase the odds for success, and well as increase the longevity of the data you are burning.2 - Close all other windows on your desktop. Let the burning application have the entire computer.3 - Walk away until the burn is done. Use the flashing I/O light on your optical drive to tell if the burn is still running.4 - Use common sense. If the first 3 discs you burn turn out to be coasters, its safe to assume the remaining 7 will be as well. Try something different like the suggestions above.I had 1 coaster from the set I bought here. I violated one of my own rules (#2), and the reburn was successful. I burn these discs at 2X, and with error correction enabled, the drive downshifts to 1X. Takes forever to burn 50GB, but at $2 a pop, not a lot of room to play around. I hope someone finds this helpful.

Very Reliable
I was a little leary when I first bought these, since they were so inexpensive. They worked perfectly for me, even more reliable than the more expensive Verbatum & optical quantum discs I had been previously using. Therefore I switched to this brand a little over a year ago and have been using them exclusively since then. They have always worked reliably and I have not been disappointed. Highly recommended.

Inexpensive
Works fine, a couple of coasters, but that's expected no matter what brand you buy

Burn/play well with the right hardware/software
Received as promised and as advertised. At first, I was a bit leery because my first three single layer blu-ray burns failed - rendering the discs useless. I thought maybe it was my new burner or the discs. But it turned out to be the burn software. After switching to Nero, 100% successful burn rate.

They make good Blu-ray disks
I bought them because they said they were 50gb and when I put them in my machine it says they are 25gb, not sure why or if I am doing something wrong. other than that I am happy with them.

Awesome Quality for the Price
Good quality discs. Lovely blank white surface to write on. After making 5 coasters, I had to crossflash AND upgrade firmware in order to use them, but that's not their fault. I anticipated a hiccup or 5, though. These discs are great. My burner can only burn them at 2x, but that's fine by me for the price.

4 coasters in a row, tossed the rest
I should preface this by saying I've burned well over 5000 discs before, I'm hardly a novice. I tried burning the first two discs with an LG burner, the second two with an ASUS burner. No dice either time. I even checked firmware on both drives, no issues. I've used many different brands of disc, from Optical Quantum, Plexdisc, Verbatim, Memorex, and TDK. I've never seen a solid failure rate like this before.I typically buy very expensive Verbatim DL BD-R's, and was looking to save some money, but I ended up buying more Verbatim because I have yet to experience a failure on roughly 300 DL discs. Same with Plexdisc BD-R's (25gb single layer), not a single failure out of probably 1000 discs.Very disappointed.

Great for high definition video transfer
I had movies taken with my new Sony camcorder. To get them transferred to a DVD we needed a high capacity Blu-Ray disc for these high definition videos. Tnankfully these worked just fine once we were able to find the program to do it. The program had nothing to do with the discs.
