Worst media in the world. [Posted on 2006-03-05]
This media is pure crap. Don't waste your money. Appears in the begin as perfect but lost data. I evaluate this media using PI/PO tests and this item can achieve PI > 10000 after some months. This is the worst media in world. Ritek G03 was one of the best media in the world but when they introduced G04 and this G05 media the problems beginned. I buyed more than 2000 medias, with logo and without logo (printable). When I sensed that I am losting media I tested ALL medias and passed them to Sony medias (initially I thinked that was my recorder and after the armazenation method until I discovered that it was the media when I tested with DVDInfo. All G04 and G05 are crap and I tested all my media.
75% Failure Rate [Posted on 2006-06-25]
When I first started using Ritek Ridata (this particular product by Ridata), it was wonderful, but those were the 4x's. The second 500 I bought were 8x...no problem; 3rd box of 500 8x, I had a 10% failure rate. Thought it was a fluke, but the last box, purchased 1 week ago, had a 75% failure rate. Out of the 4 cakeboxes I opened, only one box was OK and I'm concerned about how it will fare over time. The discs would not finalize or half way through recording, stop and I would see an error message.
Avoid at all costs. I tried calling Ritek and twice left messages, but they don't seem to care about their defective product.
If anyone has any recommendations about a better medium, feel free to email me.

HORRID FAILURE RATE!!! [Posted on 2006-08-03]
I have 160+ DVD that won't read anymore. I have try to read/write them with TEAC, NEC, SONY, LiteON internal DVD-RW as well as TOSHIBA DVD-RW deck and a SONY DVD player. Same lousy results.
Some of them played once...barely! The vast majority were giving a defective disc or no disc message.
Stay away from Ritek/Arita and whatever other off-name they use.
I now use Taiyo Yuden and I have never had one single problem with their media. They cost a little more but, it's worth a thousand times over!
Horrible Disks!!! [Posted on 2007-08-31]
Failure rate was 1 out of every 5 out of a 25 pack. Do not buy these disks.
