Summary: Never a problem
Review: I've been using these for several years. Burning data, VCDs, & mp3s on 'em. I usually buy them in 50 or 100 pack drums. Out of over 250 of them, I've only had 1 where the aluminumized backing came off... a DJ dopped one in a dark club sound booth & didn't realize he was stepping on it all night. AMF, many more of them take nightly beatings in sound & video booths, & still play when many others have failed. These booths get over 100 degrees F. The disks have also been in the hot car in the summer, & below zero F winters overnight.I supspect above average CD abuse or he just got a bad batch in reference to the other poster's comments. These & Fuji discs hold up better, & have less burn errors at any speed than any other brands I've used, & I've tried a lot of them. AMF I'm purchasing another 100 of them today. Which is why I typed this, after seeing the bad review for a product I'm quite happy with. I also heard of a friend who fell asleep on one & the sivlering came off. So as long as you don't sleep & sweat on them or walk on them, they should do just fine. I also use theirs or Fuji CD-RWs for quick access UDF format data for years (the computer thinks its a small hard drive). I probably have 40 of them, which over half are office-max brand. None of them have failed yet.

Review: These would only be okay if you needed short-term storage. For anything long-term, look elsewhere. I burned a bunch of CD's on this media, and the paint on the top layer (where you write or label the CD) flakes or chips off. Unfortunately, there is no layer of plastic separating the top coat of paint from the foil where the information is kept, so when the paint flakes off, you lose part of your information. Some advice I've been told is to never let CD-R's in direct contact with sunlight (the UV light will speed this process), and to not store CD-R's face up like we usually do with commercial CD's (to protect the surface from being scratched). I don't know how to check if a brand's CD-R's are durable enough, but I've never had a problem with any of the "major" brands, whose products have always satisfied. If you can't find their stuff on sale, dish out the extra dollars anyway. You are saving money when you use CD-R's, anyway; don't get stuck being cheap and buying a no-name brand that does not have a reputation for audio products. I think there are a few other brands that are okay, bu Amazon is just going to blank them out, so do a search online to try to find out more about this topic. There are lots of audiophiles that are very knowledgeable.
