Summary: Cheap, affordable, easy, quick!
Review: For [the price], you can't go wrong with these. I've never heard of the company before, but that didn't stop me; and I'm glad it didn't. I use these CDRWs for backing up files and for testing CD image burns before I do them to a CDR. I've yet to have a bad write using EZ CD Pro, EZ CD Creator, and CDRWIN. For whatever reason you may need these for, they'll probably do the trick for less. Some people complain about not being able to use them except for on a computer--that's not entirely the case. Most CD players built after 1997 should be able to read CDRW, if not its still unlikely to be the disc's fault; if your player can't read these, it probably can't read any CDRWs. Has something to do with laser intensity I think, but that's not the point. Get these if you need CDRWs and you won't be sorry.

Summary: Only two of ten good
Review: I could format only two of the ten discs with CD-RW that came with new Dell computer. Adaptec Direct CD Wizard regarded them as bad discs and would not format. Other brands I got at store did format ok.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: High-quality, low-cost media
Review: I'd never heard of CMC Magnetics but figured I'd order the discs because they're a great price. I love them; they're all I wanted from CD-RWs.

The discs come in a bulk pack and are individually wrapped in jewel cases. After you open them, the recording surface (the side that's slightly green) is in the place the label normally is on a disc--presumably to prevent damage from exposure to sunlight.

I use them in my HP 8250i CD-Writer Plus and have had no problems on any of the 10 discs. I use some for system backups, some for removable storage, and one for audio (which *does* work on a computer CD-RW drive). I have never had a single error writing at full 4x speed on them. Using CDs as removable discs (with Adaptec DirectCD or a similar program) is faster, cheaper, and much more convenient than using floppies.

Overall recommendation: If you have a CD-RW drive, do yourself a favor and buy some of these discs. You can't beat the price, and you'll find uses for all of them.

Summary: Excelent price - good quality
Review: I've used 7 of the 10 disks so far in my Acer CD-RW drive. I formatted them using Adaptec direct CD and they have all worked great. There were no defects on any of the disks.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: 4X THE DISSAPOINTMENT
Review: THESE CDRWS ARE GOOD QUALITY, DON'T GET ME WRONG. I JUST DID'NT KNOW THAT THE CDS, ONCE BURNED, WOULD ONLY PLAY ON COMPUTER RELATED EQUIPMENT. YOU CAN'T PLAY MUSIC ON STEREOS AND SUCH. BUT, IF YOU GOT THEM FOR DATA AND MUSIC TO BE PLAYED AND USED SOLELY ON COMPS, THEN ITS A GOOD BUY.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Impressed at the quality
Review: Upon reading other reviews, I was unsure of the quality of these CDRWs. I am very impressed with their quality, and they are great with Easy CD Creator 4. My favorite use for them is for internet downloads, and you can store MANY internet downloads on these CDRWs. They really hold a lot, and they free up your hard drive because they store so much data. If you accidentally record something you do not want, you can erase it easily. You cannot erase CDRs, so I recommend CDRWs instead. They do not work with my new Gpx portable Cd player, but that only means that it won't work with ANY CDRWs. They are great, though if you go to Napster a lot because you are able to store about 25-30 songs on each CD (or 74 minutes time).
