My wife purchased those last year, in spite of the fact that I always use Sony or Verbatim. I saved some of my digital pictures on one, and as I always do backed it up on another one. My wife was able to print some of the pics, thereafter, the 2 cds were unreadable. I lost my data, and am unable to even get any files on those cds. Don't waste your money on those, and most importantly, your unique data.

These discs will only successfully burn one time. Subsequent burns always result in corrupted files. Even on the first burn, my DivX player has a very hard time reading the disc. (Takes about two minutes to load a video file and it can only fast-forward at 2x. A brief power outage while we were in the middle of watching a movie took about half an hour to recover from because it took so long to fast forward back to where we were at the time of the outage.) The player does just fine with other CD-RWs. Avoid these like the plague!

As I wrote in another review of these disks, on my NEC DVD burner that is rated to do CD-RW at 24X, these disks are abyssmal. Even when I was sure to use a brand new one and not exceed 16X, the disks are good for one burn and any subsequent burns are questionable, at best. I have given up on these. They are expensive one-time use disks and certainly the most useless media I've used since I started disk burning back in 1999. Their quality would not be acceptable even if they were cheap (and they are expensive). They are honestly not worth bothering with if free because they are frustrating. I have some old Memorex 4x disks I've been using for a while and they have given no problem, but these are junky junk and among the worst products I've used in my entire consumer life, including crossing the boundaries into cars, mp3 players, etc. They simply do not work and the money is thrown in the garbage to equal benefit.
