Best value for money (and unbeatable quality)

I have tried discs from Memorex, TDK, Maxell, Sony, Imation and Verbatim mainly for music radio and they have proven their effectiveness . almost as effective in my experience. Also, the more expensive versions labeled "Music" do not have better sound quality than the "blank" discs from the same manufacturers. So if you prefer the cheapest of the otherwise equivalent alternatives, Memorex is almost always the best choice. Since the current price of a 50 disc pack is almost three times the price

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Finally a CD that works, delivered quickly and packaged well

I use it to back up my CD collection, car copy etc. I bought a pack of 100 verbatim and the first couple of the batch worked Perfect. A few months later I tried to burn some CDs but my computer kept asking me to insert a blank disc. I thought there was something wrong with my computer, but it was only a few months old. I tried it on another computer and the same thing happens. My son gave me a CD from his stash and it worked. I'm like this why? I just bought this stack of 100. I tried them all…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Only available in white

High bounce rate, unreadable for some Plextors

What an atrocity these wheels are. I have three different CD drives:* Plextor PX-755SA (firmware 1.07)* Plextor PX-716A (firmware 1.11)* Toshiba SD-R1612 (firmware version unknown) All discs were burned on PX-755CA. A write failed (maybe just a bad disc; that happens), so I'm ruling that out from my perspective. All writes were done at 16x (sometimes I go faster, but I prefer less rereading when using discs). Of the 10 successful burns, 7 were read by the PX-755SA, 3 were not read by all drives

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • High price

Like other reviewers, the packaging was damaged in transit. As a result, the discs were scattered all over the box. The problem lies in the poor construction of the holder, which is not strong enough to withstand the shocks of transportation. Unlike some CDs that are protected by a strong holder, Memorex tried to save money by placing the CDs between two plastic grommets that were pulled together in the middle with a thin plastic tube. The outer label is a thin shrink material and does not…

Pros
  • Stored for up to 80 minutes of audio
Cons
  • Has been damaged

Package arrived safe and sound

Discs work well. I record a lot of CDs and have probably ordered 5 of those 100 CDs in the last 5 months. Only one of them could open normally. The only way to open this container is to unscrew the top cap. It's hard to twist and it takes a lot of twists to get it where you think you can open it. If I keep turning this knob, it starts to crackle and won't open. From there, I figure out a way to break into that container to get at the disks. I salvaged a middle shelf from one of those episodes…

Pros
  • 50 writable CD-Rs on plastic spindle with dust cover
Cons
  • Large and bulky
