Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Memorex 700MB/80-Minute 52x Data CD-R Media (50-Pack Spindle)
Customer Review: Better quality CD-Rs are out there
Summary: 1 Stars
This is my experience: I was making a few CDs and noticing that many of the songs I recorded on them, particularly those at the end of the disc, skipped and popped a lot, basically rendering the whole CD worthless. After spending several hours rebooting my machine and checking all of the hardware to see what the problem was, I figured I'd try another brand of CD-Rs and eureka! I was able to churn out a bunch of CDs with no problems whatsoever.
It's a bit surprising that a brand name like this puts out such low-quality CD-Rs. I ended up throwing away at least half of these CD-Rs I tried to record before just pitching the entire spindle after I got this other brand.
So if you're having trouble burning CDs, check what kind of disc you are using first before wasting time checking to make sure your computer equipment is okay.
Customer Review: Good but be careful while choosing a case for these
Summary: 4 Stars
Following are some of the most important thing for a CD. And this is how I rank it.
Capacity: 700 MB (5 Star). This is sufficent size for any album of even for some movies. I have burned almost 20 movies (as data file)
Speed: 52X (5 Star): It takes around 2-3 mins to burn one CD, however it depends upon many other factors like RAM of system, Brand of CD Writter etc. Some CD writters write really fast.
Durability: Avg (3 Star): Durability is okay. But buy a good case to store these CDs, Put only once CD in one case. dont keep the cd one on top of other. Elese there is possibility that it might damage other cds.
Good vs Junk Cd Ratio: 10:1 (good 4 star): This means an avg out of 10 cd one cd i am not able to burn, which is not bad. I have used Verbatim which was 10:4.
Customer Review: 52x Memorex CD-R Bad
Summary: 1 Stars
I've used Memorex tapes about 10 years ago and they worked very well as I recall, so when I saw this 50p. 52x CD-R package for such a cheap deal I just had to buy. Needless to say, I am seriously dissapointed, I couldn't get the CD's to record properly, even trying a few different things such as recording on 4x write speed or testing to see if iTunes would record better than Nero or perhaps copying a different audio CD, and etc, but about 7 out of 7 that I recorded on just couldn't be played on anything at all. I think the problem is that the CD's in this particular batch are too transparent and the laser is probably shooting right on through instead of burning the pits or something. Whatever it is, this is seriously dissapointing, I expected much more from Memorex.Customer Review: In consistent quality
Summary: 1 Stars
I have a spindle of Memorex that I bought a year or so ago, and I never had any problems with it, but I only had a dozen or so of those left, so I bought a new batch. The old ones still burn fine, but not one of the new batch has worked yet.
Both batches are identical in specifications, but the old ones were matte silver with little shiny silver squares in a pattern on the top, and the new ones are just plain matte silver. Nero identifies both batches as CMC Magnetics (apparently a subsidiary of Memorex), code 97m26s66f, dye type 6, short strategy pthalocyanine, capacity 79.59.71, 703 mb. I am relatively sure my burner is working as it should---it burns everything else I throw at it, but not the new batch of Memorex.
Customer Review: Very Pleased with Memorex CD-Rs
Summary: 5 Stars
Memorex recordable media is consistently trashed by Internet gurus. I've never understood the hatred, as my own experience has been just the opposite. I've been through several spindles of Memorex CD-Rs in the past three years. I've burned one single coaster to date, and that wasn't the fault of the disc--it was me, attempting a direct CD to CD-R copy, which resulted in a buffer underrun error.
I've had no problems with Memorex CD-Rs, either during burning or reading. Discs burned in late 2001 are still intact and read beautifully on my system.
Amazon's wonderful price only makes the brand more attractive. I know where I'm heading the next time that more are needed--and I just tipped off a friend a few minutes ago.
