Summary: Price is right and no quality problems
Review: Hardware - Ricoh MP7040A 4x CDRW. Software - Roxio EZ CD Creator 5, Fireburner and BlindRead. Burning results - Music, data and CD copying occur without a problem. Conclusion - These disks seem to be a terrific value at about $.25 a piece. I say "seems" because I can't speak to longevity (for me that's greater than 1 year) of retention yet. I have had no problems with these disks. I have made a few coasters due to buffer underrun but that isn't the fault of the media. If you must keep your data for 30+ years then price point shopping is not what you need to be doing - go get Kodak golds. If your burning music to play in your car, backing up data, making "gold builds" at work or making archive copies of your software these will do the job for you in fine style and save you some green to boot.

Summary: Great stuff!!!!!
Review: I have burned over 150 of these CDs WITHOUT 1 COASTER!!!!
They are a great deal!!
People who are burning coasters are either having buffer underrun problems, or have bad burners.
It certainly isn't the disks.

Summary: They never fail you!
Review: I have researched this brand a little. Most people say the brand of disk doesn't matter. This seems like a cheap brand (from CMC also the makers of Hotan disks-supposedly the same disk-different "brand") but all 100 of mine worked without a hitch. I am writing this review because of my experience with Pioneer brand cd-r's. I tested the first 5 in a spindle of 50 and only 2 of the Pioneer's worked. When my burner spit them out I stuck one of these in and the burner said tastes great! Added bonus-they look more sleek on the top of the disk than any other blank disk I have seen. Highly recommended, especially with royalties driving up all cd-r prices (see pccomputing.com for article: "cd-r prices tripling").

Summary: Not bad at all
Review: I have seen both the positve and negative comments for this media. Let me add my two cents. So far I have burned 14 CDs off of my first spindle ever purchased, and all 14 worked fine. I did have one that faild a simulation pass, but copying the source CD to the HD first instead of "on the fly" copying proved a winner, and the disc holds data to this day. These blanks are very cheap, under 30cents per unit. At that price you can afford to back up just about anything (which I have been doing). I do however, have a friend who bought a spindle who says he has trouble getting them to burn at 4x speed on his Ricoh CDRW 4x drive. I do not have a CDRW, just a CDR, and it works at 4x and is a Panasonic model that is around 2.5 years old. I would give these a try, the whole spindle is [inexpensive]and even if you have to knock your speed down (which worked for my friend) the value is uncompromised, remember, other spindles are usually around twice this price. But to end, I must restate, I have not had one blank that would not be written to at 4x (for me at least).

Summary: Very well made discs. No coasters as yet.
Review: I have used up about 1/2 of my disks and do not have a coaster as yet. In fact, the disks do not fell like the thin & cheap two sided disks. They are well made and feel solid. All my disks were burned at 12x speed only. And believe it or not, my Sony player which is so finicky when it comes to cd-r's will actually play these music cd's without a complain.For the price, its a steal.

Summary: Great CD-Rs!
Review: I love this KHypermedia CDRs. It's one of my favorite CDRs. I've recorded everything (data, music, video) to these discs, and everything works great. By the way, I have a Plextor 16x CD writer. I don't know why the other reviewer (An electronics fan from Bourg, Louisiana USA) hates the discs so much. Perhaps he got a super old CD writer. No pun intended. Great quality CDRs, cheap prices, what could you ask for more? I will definitely buy them again.
