Datasafe Pro 8x Hub Printable TYG02 DVD-R After a lot of persuasion Datasafe have gone upmarket with the professional DVD-R manufactured by Taiyo Yuden. These discs are genuine TYG02 full face printable disc packaged in tubs of 10 and are so far exclusively available only from the one on line retailer who sent me some samples for review. The dye is a mid brownish purple in color with a clear center ring overprinted on the top with a smooth white printable surface. The inner unused dye area has the code GG000121 & there is a batch number cut into the clear center ring but I am unable to read it The rim is smooth with only a few minor signs of the glue protrusion.
Well the discs & packaging look nice lets see if they live up to expectations. | 00 6C 00 00 01 40 C1 FD 9E D8 52 00 02 87 0D 10 .l...@....R.....

Jitter 10% for most of the scan with a slight increase at the 6x burn area

These disc produce exceptionally good results in all my drives at their rated speed and playback is faultless on my range of DVD players. The burn in the DVD-106D at 4x speed is good but the readings are higher than the 8x speed burns showing that the discs are optimized for 8x speed burning. This disc was capable at burning faster than the rated speed in all my high speed drives and I have show the results of such burns The Pioneer still burns well at 12x speed but I would not recommend the NEC burning these discs at 12x
The printable surface is smooth and produces vibrant prints. These disc sell at a premium of about twice the cost of the general market disc. So are they worth the extra?
From these results I would say YES they are if you want a premium disc these are the ones to go for with the added bonus that you can burn them faster in some drives | Tuesday, May 17, 2005 Reviewer: Flashhits: 12949
