I use this media in large quantities to make audio CDs for clients at my recording studio. I have used Verbatim DataLife media for at least a decade. While I do not have the equipment to do rigorous testing, I have noticed that in the last two or three years, it has become typical for my CD burner to reject 3 or 4 discs per hundred. On the other hand, I have never had a problem with any successful burn, and I have never had a duplicator return a CD-R master, except in one case where the fault was attributable to a technical problem in the mastering- not the media itself. I will note that paper labels to not adhere as well to the printable media as they do to regular media. Labels are usable, but care must be taken to smooth and press them into place. In conclusion, Verbatim DataLife is still a good medium, but there seems to be a small but noticeable decline in quality control in recent years.
