Review on Memorex 8 5GB Double Layer Spindle Computer Accessories & Peripherals by Stephen Vasquez

Some of these discs didn't work when I tried to use them to back up data files after running out of regular single layer DVDs . So these Memorex 8.5GB drives are great for ripping DVDs, but they don't work 100% reliably as backup drives on a PC running the Windows 7 operating system. When I inserted some of these blank drives into the computer's DVD player, I got a message The screen says the drive needs to be formatted before I can use it, but other drives worked fine. Total: 3 "faulty disk". " which were totally unusable, from a pack of 25. Updated with the note: Within three weeks of my purchase the new price is double what I paid making this no longer a good deal power.
