Review: Don't waste your money on these CD-RW discs. They don't work on all high speed labeled CD-RW drives. Won't work on (name brand) Creative Labs high speed CD-RW drive. Works some on NEC drive, but if you record music on them they "lock up" and and won't allow you to re-write the disk again, it just shows disk error when you try to erase it. I have had no problems with other brands of high speed CD-RW media from Yamaha or Imation.

Summary: Seems reliable and easy to use, has decent speed
Review: I bought these because they had "high speed" written on them, but I wasn't sure whether these actually perform at the same speed as the ones that don't have "high speed" written on them. The disc performs really well on my Sony CD-RW. The one gripe I have is that it says that it goes up to 10x, but my CD-RW should be able to do 32x. I couldn't find any media that get even near the 32x speed my writer supports.

The thing I love about the CD-RW media is that its so easy to use, is very universal, and is cheaper than alternatives if you want to back something up or keep files on some media that you transfer around alot.

I plan to use it for taking my work with me if I use another workstation (the alternative is upload/downloading constantly from the internet, yuck), as well as using these as a backup for my computer's files.

Summary: The Memorex 3202 3417 works perfectly on Plexwriter 48/24/48
Review: I've tried a lot of CDs and found you must use the exact speed rated disc for most drives to get reliable results. Despite that these Memorex CD-RW discs work better in my drive than other brands or speeds or even CD-R's. It sucks that the CD Drive Industry has misrepresented drive speeds and disc compatibility to the point where half the disc you buy don't work reliably in a drive. Ordering more of these Memorex right now !

Summary: Fast write, slow read
Review: These worked well for my cd-r drive which is a 12x10x32 Lite-on. Mine burns cd-rw @ 10x and it works at that speed. Pretty good! Of course, almost all cd-rw disks read at much slower speeds than cdr disks. Most of the time cd-rw read at 8x (depending on your drive). Most cd-rw drives do not specify the speed at which it reads cd-rw, if your doesn't, it's probably reading cd-rw's @ 8x. These memorex disks are the first CD-RW disks with both, 700MB capacity AND high speed 4-12X. If you have a drive that supports higher than 12x, you should purchase memorex's "Ultra high speed" cd-rw which allow writing @ 12-24X. They come in red box instead of blue.
