I have some Taiyo Yuden Cds and DVDs that come with that spindle base. Based on that there may be a possibility these Amazone disks are Taiyo Yudens.

I can't find any reference indicating TY manufactures +R DL media. Some Memorex products also use similar packaging, which seems more likely given the price point Amazon is offering these for. Curious to see how they work out.

The casing for their blank CDs and SL and DL DVDs all show that same knurled spindle base, which Memorex doesn't use. But the design aesthetics of the labels closely echo, in my mind, what's seen on current Memorex media cakeboxes. And the text placement on the discs themselves also shows great similarity to the labeling on Memorex discs. The pricing is also consistent with what 50-pks of Memorex Dl currently go for (all points already made by jwsw). If these are being sourced from Memorex, that should make them Ritek S04-66.
I will say that the dedicated packaging AMZN is using to ship these in would seem, at first glance, far better than the haphazard manner of packaging most other resellers use.

I've never had any problem burning those at 2.4X on a Samsung SH-S203B or a Pioneer BDC-202--but endless trouble on an LG GSA-H62L. But for whatever data I want saved for any length of time, I still use Verbatim DL (all three of the above burners burn those fine).
