Summary: Imation respects its clients.
Review: I bought 2 spindles. Had a problem with one of the spindles. It peeled off after awhile. I sent an e-mail to Imation and they promptly sent me a new spindle. It is always good to deal with a company that respects its clients. I will surely keep buying Imation's products!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It really peels off. It is horrible! Don't waste your money.
Review: I bought 2 spindles. Waste of time and money. It will last for a couple of months and then the media will just peel off. This is a disrespect of Imation with its clients and I will never buy imation products again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Quality CD-Rs that are great for labeling
Review: I have probably burned about 30 of these babies (at 8x speed) without a single media-related problem. Also, for those of you who (like me) like to label your discs using snazzy, custom-designed labels, the branding on these discs is done using a matte silver finish, so there's no dark printed logo to show through your labels. I've already ordered a second spindle of 50.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Reliable for all of my copying/burning needs
Review: I'm now on my third Imation spindle and so far, none of my CD-Rs have failed. They're very reliable for multi-purpose use -- burning audio CDs, making backup copies of software and personal files, and storing home videos. I've had them now for three years and not a single one has failed to read. I'm not sure about these reviews from people who are having trouble reading a CD after a couple years. Imation has a lifetime warranty to protect you against normal wear and tear. As long as you are storing these CD-Rs in the spindle case or individual jewel cases, you are going to be okay. CD-Rs by their nature are more sensitive to oils, heat and scratches than a standard audio CD.

I turned a couple of my discs into coasters when my computer crashed while burning copies, but I doubt it was due to the discs themselves. Another reason I'd take Imation over another brand is that they give four lines of space (the entire bottom half) to customize your discs. Memorex and TDK aren't as generous with the label space.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent quality
Review: I've burned a little over 100 of these discs and never had a problem with the media. I've had a few coasters due to my mistakes.

I have some 650MB 4X media from about 3 years ago which are all still readable.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great quality!
Review: I've probably burned around 100 or so Imation CDR's and every single one of them has been a success. The CD lasts for ever it seems (unlike the generic ones made in Taiwan).

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: don't buy these
Review: Imation CD-Rs are terrible. The sound quality is nothing to complain about, but the physically, these disks fall apart. I bought a spindle of 50 and now less than half of them work. The top layer of the CD-R, the actual part that music or data is writfen on simply peels off of the plastic base. If you take your finger and brush up on the edge of the cd, like you were trying to peel a sticker, it will come right off, I promise. No other brand of CD-Rs that i've used do this. Try Memorex instead, I havn't had any problems with this brand and they are in the same price range.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Quality, Especially for Labels
Review: These CD-R's came highly recommended by a friend who records lots of DJ mixes. He was right -- they work perfectly every time. The best part is that Imation has kept it's branding on the CD to a minimum so that it doesn't show through a white CD label. Most other CD companies put color logos or black text on their CD's, which show right through white CD labels. Now that's smart!
