I thought I'd be done by now with optical media stress tests. But Smartbuy BD-R and Ridata BD-R proved to be better than I thought. You never know about these things. Memorex BD-R proved to be one of the worst and you would think it would be among the best! I have to update the article, but addendum test results are here below. Here are previous BD-R stress tests. Blu-ray Discs …they are not all the same. – Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection – II (home.blog) Memorex BD-R 25GB single layer 6x. Tested twice. Both tests failed within 30 days of sun. Smartbuy BD-R 25GB 1-6X. Passed 2 months of sun and tests are ongoing. Ridata BD-R 25GB 6x. Passed 2 months of sun and tests are ongoing. None of the BD-R I've tested have been interim champs. In other words, they die within a month of sun or will last a year of sun; so it will be interesting to see what these 2 discs can actually take. If you have Memorex BD-R, I would not use them for archival work. Personally, I use the remaining stock I have for temp work only. <><><><> Reel People Film ad 1983 Selection from Daniel D.
