 DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! July 5, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought a 10 pack of this particular brand, and I was thoroughly disappointed. Not one cd out of the 10 could burn properly, I had to trash every last one of them. I checked for file corruption, compatibility with my burner, etc...none of that was the problem. I got a bad batch of cd's...now I can understand 1 or 2 cd's being bad out of, maybe 50....but 10 out of 10? That's totally unacceptable.
I'm with the other user, I'm sticking to Sony from now on. I usually use Sony and went the cheaper route with Memorex and ended up paying anyway. Stick with Sony, they are more reliable and compatible.
High failure rate, unreadable by some Plextors July 3, 2007

What an atrocity these discs are. I have three different CD drives:
* Plextor PX-755SA (f/w rev 1.07)
* Plextor PX-716A (f/w rev 1.11)
* Toshiba SD-R1612 (f/w rev unknown)
All discs were burnt on the PX-755SA. One burn failed (could've just been a bad disc; it happens), so I'm excluding that from my opinion. All burns were done at 16x (occasionally I'll use faster, but I prefer less re-reads when the discs are used).
Out of 10 successful burns, 7 were readable by the PX-755SA, 3 were unreadable by all drives (including the PX-755SA). Of the 7 which were readable, only ONE of those was readable by a drive other than PX-755SA.
Before you say "sounds like a Plextor problem", consider this: I also use "Memorex 700MB/80-Minute 48x CD-R Media (Black)" discs purchased from Amazon. I have yet to experience any problems with those discs.
That said, I'm left to believe these discs suffer from major compatibility problems, completely unrelated to vendor. It's possible I simply got a "bad batch", but the failure rate is completely unacceptable; it's wasted money, and wasted time.
As someone in the IT industry, I need to be able to burn a disc at an acceptable speed (16x) and haul that disc to a co-location facility to install an operating system on a server. I don't like burning a disc then driving 20 minutes, only to find the media itself has failed me.
Avoid these particular Memorex discs.
100% Failure Record June 29, 2007
I have been using Sony Cd-Rs for years now without any problems. However, when I stumbled across some very bad reviews of Sony here on Amazon, I decided to give Memorex disks a try when I saw them on sale.
Boy, I should have listened to myself when I said I was going to stick with Sony. Not one of the Memorex CD-Rs would burn (using my Dell PC). I went through about 5 in a row. Not one! The minute I popped in a Sony disk, it burned as smooth as butter, so I knew it couldn't be corrupted data as the problem; it had to be the Memorex disks. I immediately dumped the brand new Memorex spindle with the remaining 45 blank CDs in the trash. $8 (at least it was a very good sale) wasted. I didn't even bother testing the others. I wouldn't buy a computer with the expectation that it will only work 95% of the time and I don't buy disks with the same expectation. When I buy something new, I expect 100% of it to work 100% of the time.
Perhaps it is true that some disks will not work on all machines. Who knows. All I know is Memorex doesn't work on mine but Sony has worked flawlessly on every computer and CD player I have ever used them on. So that's it for me. I will never deviate from what I know to be true again. For all I know Memorex reps could be the ones writing those bad reviews of Sony. LOL!
Sony has been infallible for me and with Sony I shall remain. Memorex is in the trash right where it belongs.

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various recordings from the 60's and 70's. Sometimes my thoughts are requested on recording equipment and electronics.
Memorex has been ultra reliable for me as a recording medium for blank CDR's. I have used a substantial amount over the years for both data and pictures (Notes on my Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and photos) and for various rock and roll albums.
The CD's have held up well and there have been very little that were defective right out of the package. While the quality control is a shade below the Fuji from Japan, in no way should Memorex be considered a poor second choice.
For maximum shelf life the recorded CD's should be in jewel cases and not in paper sleeves. If you are into making your own labels make sure to use the better quality paper. The inferior thin labels not only will curl up before they are placed on the CD but the glue will actually get into the CD itself. Many defective CD's are not the fault of the manufacturer but the consumer not using best judgment.
Enjoy the music and be well,

these cds are good quality and most burn good. at times a couple out of a 50 pack may be bad but that is good compared to some other brands like hp where i had about 10 bad out of 50. i recommend these cds and i have been using them for quite awhile.
