Doesn't work for me.

I'm sure it's a good product but these CD-RWs didn't work in my old standalone CD writer. They are made for units that burn faster.

Pros
  • quick change
Cons
  • unreliable

Poor quality control

I ordered 5 boxes of these CD-RWs. The first box had 3 bad drives - when I tried to format them before using them for backup, I got a "damaged or defective area on drive" message. Looking at them, I saw many scratches on the shiny side (not all in one place) on the drives where this error message appeared. On the plus side, undamaged discs work just fine, and slim jewel cases save space. .

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Looks like false advertising

I have bought two packs of these turkeys in the last year or so and will NEVER buy ANY memorex product again. I bought the first pack based on the number of discs and the price, attributing the poor quality to an accident. This week I was more cautious - I asked the Office Max salesman if the discs really were rewritable and he replied that they should be. However, he had similar issues and said if I had any issues I would return them for a refund. After use, the two discs I burned could not…

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • I really don't like it everything is fine

Unacceptably poor quality control

Thought I might have bought a box of these that fell off or something. The first three of the four discs in the Memorex box were marked as "unreliable" by my computer after trying to confirm the burning. I recorded other discs (from Fuji - CD-R and CD-RW) on the same day with no problems. I came here and saw that the problem with Memorex discs has been there for at least five years! Ouch! This is ethically unacceptable. It's one thing when a company makes a mistake (isn't it) but doesn't fix it

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Protection

Oh my gosh save your $$!

Like many others, I grabbed a pack of these on the way home to make an mp3 CD for my car (I prefer rewritable CDs for my car because my tastes change every week ) . I made a CD and it hopped in my car, so the weeks of diagnosing my computer and its software began. I was about to give up and buy a new DVD-RW drive when I found a scratched CD in my desk drawer and started thinking about it. Let's see if I can write to it without problems (Sony CD-RW if anyone is interested). Although the sound…

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • Will write later

Think before you say

I wonder how many people who have looked at these discs even *think* that their discs or software could be the problem? from 5 different companies (Sony, Phillips, Acer, Yamaha, Lite-On). On the software side, I used the latest versions of Easy CD Creator, DirectCD, Nero Burning Rom, Nero InCD, NTI Cd-Maker and NTI FileCD. Not a single problem. I have about 20 of these drives on hold, so I won't be needing new ones for a while. If I do, I might be looking for a better price, but I definitely…

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Empty
