It is amazing how so many people can ignore that simple fact of
reality.

There is a good reason for that. TY is made exclusively by TY in
Japan. All other +/-R discs are outsourced to Taiwanese manufacturers
who are notorious for crap, like CMC. Even Singapore and India are
crap.

Firstly +/-RWs are not made by TY. Mitsubishi Verbatim is the only
brand worth considering for RWs.

I would not count on that. Some people claim they don't get more than
5 rewrites. I have found that burning Verbatim 4x +RWs at 2.4x can
increase reliability considerably.
