Verbatim's optical media for professional use feature stricter specifications compared to the requirements set by standardization bodies.

These stricter specifications ensure better compatibility with playback and recording devices. This results in higher recording quality, longer archival times, and improved readability.

You can identify Verbatim's optical media for professional use by the DataLifePlus branding. Blu-ray technology has led to the introduction of discs with high storage capacity to meet the growing demand driven by the rapid growth of high-definition television (HDTV).

The name Blu-ray discs is derived from the blue laser technology. The shorter laser wavelength results in a blue light beam. While DVD media is read using red laser technology at a wavelength of 650 nm, the blue laser operates at a wavelength of 405 nm. The advantage of a blue laser with a shorter wavelength is that smaller data pits can be written, increasing the amount of data on the disc.

Blu-ray discs offer three to five times the storage capacity of conventional writable DVDs, allowing for the recording, playback, and rewriting of high-definition (HD) videos.

For use only in drives and recorders that support Blu-ray discs without a tray.
