Verbatim DataLife BD-R Blu-ray Disc 25GB 6x, Single Layer, 25-Pack Spindle, Wide Inkjet Printable
Verbatim DataLife BD-R 25 GB 6x — 25-Pack, Printable
Verbatim DataLife 43811 is a pack of 25 BD-R Blu-ray discs with 25 GB per disc (single layer), rated for up to 6x writing and supplied in a spindle — aimed at archives and deliveries you want to label professionally with your own printed artwork.
As write-once media, once a session is finalised the data cannot be erased or overwritten — exactly what you want for archives, legal and accounting records, finished projects and handover copies. The top is wide inkjet-printable with a print area of Ø 22–118 mm, so you can print titles, logos or artwork directly onto the disc with a compatible inkjet printer.
What's in the Box
- 25 × Verbatim DataLife BD-R discs, 25 GB each (625 GB total)
- A spindle tub with the discs stacked on the centre post — no individual sleeves or cases
- Blank discs with the wide inkjet-printable surface ready for your own artwork — no printer, ink or labelling software included
What It Means in Practice
- 25 GB per disc is about five times a single-layer DVD — enough for a large photo library, a full system image of a small PC or a long Full HD recording.
- Rated 6x (216 Mbps). Actual speed depends on your writer and burning software; for archive copies a moderate speed with verification after burning is a sensible habit.
- Write-once: the disc cannot be wiped by mistake or by ransomware once written, a real advantage for offline archive copies.
- Print area Ø 22–118 mm: you need an inkjet printer with a CD/DVD/Blu-ray print tray; let the ink dry fully before stacking or burning.
- HardCoat Scratch Guard protects the data side against scratches, fingerprints and dust.
- A spindle is the most economical way to buy discs in quantity; if you hand discs to clients or store them long-term, budget for separate jewel or slim cases.
- Windows and macOS can write simple data discs from the file manager; for verification after burning, multi-session control or Blu-ray video authoring, use dedicated burning software.
- For important archives burn two copies on separate discs and keep them in different locations — one disc is a copy, two discs in two places are a backup.
What Will Not Work
- CD or DVD-only drives cannot read or write these discs — you need a Blu-ray writer to burn them and a Blu-ray drive or player to read them.
- Write-once means no erasing: if you need to reuse discs, choose BD-RE instead.
- Laser printers, thermal disc printers and adhesive labels are not the intended method — this surface is for inkjet disc printing.
- Most current laptops and all current Macs have no optical drive; you will need an external USB Blu-ray writer.
- A data disc is not automatically a playable movie: to play in a Blu-ray player, video must be authored as a Blu-ray video disc with suitable software.
