Ritek 4x media

Has anyone tried this media in the new 4x drives? How well does it do? I recently bought the sony dru-500a and am looking for new media and if the ritek 4x performs as promised, that's what I'll get. Anyone with experience?

I've seen them advertised on a couple of different websites, but the one I'll go with is hypermedia.com

Hi I tried Datawrite 4X which are Ritek G04 disks with my DRU-500A and they only write at 2X. Recordnow Max says it is going to write at 4X but after the Sony has checked the disk it drops back to 2X and takes 30 mins to write. Out of 30 Datawrite 4X disks I have only had 4 disks that actually wrote at 4X (i.e. 15 mins for a whole disk). Is this everybody's experience or do I just have a bad batch of disks? Taroth
