Anyone know any info regarding these two blurays? Sorry for the Norwegian information, don't know enough to find English site that sells identical one.

I bought the bottom one a while back but had it in my room at summer where it ended up being 40c at times which might have killed them? But packaging was also slightly cracked when I got them, so I tried like 4 of them and 3 just failed to burn randomly or failed to verify after burning. Burnt at 4x speed rather than 6x as I read that's better? Also tried 2x just to make sure but it still failed. I used ImgBurn to burn them.

The errors I got were like this:

Failed to Read Sector 12170367 - Reason: L-EC Uncorrectable Error

Sector 12170367 maps to file \Camera 2\20230822_091019.jpg

Also got as reason "Timeout on Logical Unit" and "Invalid Address For Write"

I guess I should have stored them properly, but either way, is the significantly more expensive one all that more reliable? Can it handle more heat? And does it in general last much longer?

Wouldn't make sense for me to buy it if it lasts maybe 10% longer only, but if they're a reasonable improvement, or significantly lower chance of bad burn, I'll definitely get them as it doesn't cost all that much, just want to avoid wasting money. I'll definitely try to avoid having any future discs in such high heat moving forward though.

Thanks.
