Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best CD-R I've Used
Review: I can't vouch for the other reviewers here, but I use a Sony Spressa CRX-140E CD-RW drive with these disks and the only coasters I get are the ones I've accidently caused (due to buffer overruns while accessing other programs when burning, burning the same files twice accidently and cancelling the burn job, etc.) and not because they're a low-quality product. I've gone through probably about 250 of them, too, for various client projects.

Frankly, I switched from Sony to Samsung and then to these, and I find their quality to be quite good, and even when I've thrown them, dropped them, and spilled Coke on them, they still work. Another big plus is the *lack* of decoration on the top, as I prefer my discs nice and simple, without coloring, huge logos, or lines to write things in.

I highly recommend them to anyone looking to get high-quality CD-R discs for the least amount of dough.

Summary: Anybody know the dye color of these CD-Rs?
Review: I'm giving these cdr's a 5 (although I don't actually own the actual product) b/c I know TDK makes quality products, but anyone know what color dye these cd-r's use? Hopefully, it is the dark blue one, but it seems rare.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No problems.
Review: I've had zero problems with these TDKs except of my own making. They are 32X, as is my Backpack burner, so it's a perfect match. The price is awesome, so even the occasional coaster is not too serious.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best CD-Rs
Review: My first experience with CD-Rs was a long long time ago. It was with some external SCSI Pinnacle burners. No 'burn-proof' technology, 'buffer underrun' messages popped up the very next second you tried to multitask (and it shouldn't be a problem on NT, right?). Then I had Plextor, HP, Sony, TDK burners and writers.
I tried various CD-Rs from Memorex, Sony, HP, Ricoh, even some no-name brands. TDKs always gave me the best results, even with old burners. Right now I don't buy any other CD-Rs but TDK. I have an old HP8100i burner on my old Pentium-Pro PC and I didn't have a coaster in a long time. And it's not even worth mentioning about it when I burn a disk on new veloCD on my P4.
I make data back-ups regularly, burn some music CDs (both MP3s and audio), make copies of some software I own, keep photos from my digital camera, I even have my computer's Ghost image on them. I use both Roxio and Nero. They work on my PC, on my portable CD-player, on my CD deck, in my car, at home and in the office. It works like a charm every time. Luck? Don't think so. Quality? You bet.
And, yeah, for coasters I go to Ikea.

Summary: weak
Review: the "certified plus" tdk's don't work with my burner. the burner locks up and freezes the program

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The worst CD-R I have ever used.
Review: These are branded as "data" CD's, but they are completely useless for backups and data storage. The data CD's that actually appeared to burn successfully (only after I lost 25% of the blanks due to an I/O error I've never had with any other brand) aren't even readable by any machine I've tried them on. Do not rely on these for data storage - the files will appear to be intact, but the data will be garbage.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best CDs
Review: These are the best CDs for recording both audio and data. The other reviewers who angrily expressed their frustration with the cds were having trouble with their cd burners. High quality cds such as these simply do not cause problems like the ones they describe. These are the only cds that are certified to work in almost all cd audio players and all computer cd-rom drives. I would definately recommend them. You can't buy cds that are any better!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst CD-R I ever "used"
Review: These are the worst CD-R I ever "used". I bought a pack of 20 (same items as in the 50 pack)...and I was initially excited about the price. I tried several burning programs and several burners (!) and this is my statistic:

60 % of the burns failed,
10 % success but my DVD couldn't read them,
30 % directly and untried in the bin.

The first (failing) 5 I thought, it still a good deal, I just have to find the best setting (and would have bought plenty of them for this price). However, they are just a waste of time. Avoid them by all means. If you have already bought them, never put sensitve data (like Back-ups) on it. This stuff will fail.

Sorry, TDK but this is the truth.

Tobias...Never had such big problems.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good but not great!
Review: This is a good but not great quality cd-r. i would suggest buying this though for the price, b/c you cannot get any better for the price. Only had 4 mess-ups on a 50 spindle so its worth it, i have only had 0 mess-ups with ricohs but those are expensive.
