Product Information

Full details

The MediaRange MR501 is a pack of 10 rewritable BD-RE Blu-ray discs, ideal for users needing to store or back up approximately 25 GB of data per disc. Its key benefit is the ability to rewrite data multiple times, offering flexibility for archival and project work. A caveat is the 2x write speed, which is slower than some higher-end options, requiring patience for large data transfers.

FAQs

What does BD-RE mean?

BD-RE stands for Blu-ray Disc Recordable Erasable. This means the disc can be written to, erased, and rewritten multiple times.

What is the capacity of one MediaRange MR501 disc?

Each MediaRange MR501 disc has a native capacity of 25 GB.

What is the maximum write speed for these discs?

The maximum write speed supported by these discs is 2x.

Can I use these discs in a standard DVD or CD drive?

No, these are Blu-ray discs and require a Blu-ray drive to read or write data.

How many times can I rewrite a BD-RE disc?

BD-RE discs are typically rated for thousands of rewrite cycles, though performance may degrade over extended use.

How should I store these discs for longevity?

Store discs in their cakebox or a protective case, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity. Handle by the edges or center hole.

What is the difference between BD-RE and BD-R?

BD-R (Blu-ray Disc Recordable) discs can only be written to once, while BD-RE discs can be erased and rewritten multiple times.

Troubleshooting

Disc not recognized by drive

Ensure the disc is inserted correctly. Check if your drive supports BD-RE media. Try cleaning the disc surface and the drive's optical lens.

Write errors during burning

Close all other applications to free up system resources. Ensure your Blu-ray burner firmware is up to date. Try burning at a slightly slower speed if your software allows.

Data corrupted after writing

Avoid removing the disc prematurely after burning. Ensure the disc has been properly finalized by the burning software. Store the disc in a safe environment away from potential damage.

Unable to erase data

Ensure the disc is a BD-RE and not a BD-R. Use the erasing function within your Blu-ray burning software. If issues persist, the disc may be worn out or defective.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rewritable media allows for repeated use and data updates.
  • Ample 25 GB capacity per disc for significant data storage.
  • Standard 2x write speed ensures broad compatibility with Blu-ray drives.
  • Pack of 10 offers good value for regular users.
  • Protective cakebox packaging keeps discs safe.

Cons

  • Slower 2x write speed can increase time for large data transfers.
  • BD-RE media can be more expensive per gigabyte than archival-only BD-R discs.
  • Requires a Blu-ray burner capable of writing BD-RE media.
  • Capacity is limited to 25 GB, which may not be sufficient for very large archives.
  • Susceptible to physical damage if not handled with care despite packaging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No physical setup is required for the discs themselves. Ensure your Blu-ray drive is compatible with BD-RE media and has the necessary burning software installed on your computer.

Compatibility: These discs are compatible with most Blu-ray drives that support the BD-RE format. Always check your drive's specifications for supported media types and speeds.

Care:

  1. Handle discs by the edges or the center hole only. Avoid touching the data surface.
  2. Store discs in their original cakebox or a dedicated disc case when not in use.
  3. Keep discs away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
  4. Clean discs gently with a soft, lint-free cloth, wiping from the center outwards in a straight line if necessary. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
