I have 2 cheap Ritek 8X DVD+R DL, both failure on my blu-ray burner, Pioneer, made in Japan
I used this drive not frequently, burn 1 x 50Gb blu-ray every 2 weeks. And use it as a reader on some occasion. And the drive is a few yr. old
So on the 3rd ritek disc, I put in my HP DVD burner, and it works.
About 1 week later, I burn a 4.7GB Ricoh Taiwan disc, and it's rated at 16X. The blu-ray burner said it only burn at 4X. I was burning a bunch of PDF file, nothing fancy.
So w/ the above 2 incidents, it seems strange for a drive w/ japanese quality, and not remotely heavily use.
Yesterday, I burn a 50GB blu-ray 2X, no problem, verify fine.
So at this pt., I don't know what to think, is my blu-ray burner dying?
