Summary: Reliable
Comment: I got into using computers back when the very concept of data on a CD was new to the public. So I've probably been through a lot of brands in my time. Rule of thumb is, of course, usually you get what you pay for. If you go with no-brand cheap CDs, you're going to get yourself a lot of coasters.

That being said, while these may or may not be more expensive than other brands, they have proven over many years of use to be as reliable as any of them.

I would greatly suspect that those posting reviews here of only a couple stars, are having hardware issues... which is what your CDR drive simply DOES after burning so many CDs... it begins to die, and you get an increasing number of coasters, no mater what brand you buy. Yes, I'm sure that every company experiences the occasional "bad batch" (I don't recall this ever happening to me but once, and I don't recall the brand it was... but sometimes it's a hardware malfunction. And sometimes I think my burner rejects a random disk once in a while just to make sure I didn't go anywhere, but that's just me. lol (Actually it's because my burner is dying.)

As for myself, I back up data on these things that I DEFINITELY do not want to be loosing. I probably have CDs from 2000 sitting around. And until my CD burner started dying recently, I haven't had any real problems with this brand. In fact, I would hate to have to buy any other brand. I've had nothing but problems with cheaper ones.

BOTTOM LINE: According to my experience, this seems to be a very quality product... as long as your CDR drive is working properly. But when it gets to the end of it's days (burnt one too many CDs) ... you're GOING to get coasters. No matter what brand you're going with. The CD writer I've had for only about 2 years now (it's a poor quality one), is dying. And that has nothing to do with Memorex. "You get what you pay for" also applies to hardware!

Comment: I copied simple cds and used the entire 100 disks, and had a failure rate of 30%. You get what you pay for.

Summary: Best value (and unsurpassed quality)
Comment: I've tried Memorex, TDK, Maxell, Sony, Imation and Verbatim discs, primarily for musical-radio use, and they've proven close to equally effective in my experience. Moreover, the more expensive versions designated as "For Music" have no better audio quality than the same manufacturers' "non-designated" discs. So if you favor the least expensive of otherwise equal alternatives, Memorex is almost always the best bet. Since the current price of a 50-disc pack is almost triple the cost of the same Memorex spindle I purchased from Amazon last December, I'm seeking to reduce the damage by going with the 100-pack this time.

[Later: A day after ordering these, I discovered that Walgreen's was selling TDK 50-pack spindles for seven bucks. Lesson: especially with the declining demand for CDs, it pays to stay alert and, when the moment is propitious, to stock up.]
