Terrible [Posted on 2004-02-27]
I've used mant different brands of CDR on many different burners. Imations have the highest failure rate by far. Out of 100 discs, usually only about 60% burn clean. Try another brand.
really, really poor quality [Posted on 2004-04-16]
i got these for cheap thinking that all cd-r's were pretty much the same. boy was i wrong. while trying to back up some important information, the burns repeatedly failed when i approached the 700mb capacity of these discs. i then used some memorex cd-r's on the same files and they burned flawlessly. only when i reduced the size of the burn to about 1/2 of the stated capacity did these work. i also tried compiling a music cd with these discs and found the same results - if i filled the discs to their stated capacities, they would fail the burn as it neared finishing. the maxells took care of the same songs no problem. it bears repeating. these cd-r's are junk. look somewhere else unless you're buying these as coasters.
Rubbish CD-R's [Posted on 2004-09-27]
I bought these thinking that all CD-R's must be essentially the same... boy, was I wrong... I wish I had read all the other negative reviews posted here prior to purchasing... I've burned a number of music CD's so far using iTunes, and none of them work well on the majority of my CD players... they either skip or don't read at all... PURCHASE ANOTHER BRAND!!!
The only kind of CD-R I recommend these days [Posted on 2005-02-10]
A long time ago IBM offered a line of CD-Rs called Choice Media. These no longer seem to exist...
I'd bought 3M disks since I started using computers, and continued to buy Imation products once 3M was bought by them. I figured the CD-Rs would be good as well.
The discs have held up well. I've got CD-Rs dating back to 2000 that still work reliably. I have two burners and both are able to burn these without a problem. I've seen so many of my friends lose data to Memorex and other cheap CDs. These aren't as easy to find at stores but are worth the hunt.
stay far away [Posted on 2005-07-15]
I've been burning lots of CDs lately. Using Maxell, 100% success. I thought I'd save money, bought this cheap set of 100 Memorex. I burned the first 4. Two of them failed during burn. One of the others I tried to read and it locked up my Windows Media Player. Pure junk. I burned everything flawlessly onto Maxell and will never mess with these garbage disks again. My money was wasted. And the only thing I can do is warn others to save their own money.
