Customer Review: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
Customer Review: BUYER BEWARE!

I have been using Memorex brand DVD's for years and have never had a problem. These CD's however are JUNK! I can only get 1 out of 5 to successfully burn using nero. My Plextor 708 burner won't even recognize the blank discs. My newer Plextor 716 SATA drive will fail 1 out 5 times. I keep up to date on firmware and these are top of the line drives! I have burned hundreds of DVD's and I can count the coasters on one hand. I have thrown away 10 discs already. WHAT A HEADACHE, WASTE OF MONEY & TIME! THE REST ARE GOING IN THE TRASH AND I WILL ONLY BUY VERBATIM FROM NOW ON!Customer Review: Thought it was my burner, but....

I have used Memorex in the past with no problems. I bought a couple 50 packs spindles and burned abour 20 of them with no problem. Then the next one failed at he beginning of recording, and the next and the next and the next. In all, I have had about 15 failures in a row on both my laptop and desktop computers. At first, I thought my burner went bad, but I tried some Fuji disks that I had (recording the same thing) and they worked every time. I can not record any music or data files on these Memorex disks. Even if Memorex would replace them, I want something I can trust.Customer Review: Crap Shoot

My first spindle of these worked flawlessly. My second spindle of these didn't seem to work at all on the same drive. Bizarrely, when I took a set of CD's to another computer, they worked great, so I figured it was my drive. Unfortunately, after buying a new drive, they didn't work on that, either.
Based on the other reviews being super positive and super negative, I'm thinking that the quality control on these things is pretty horrible. Entire spindles of bad CD's may be being shipped, as are entire spindles of great ones. My advice - don't waste your money.
Customer Review: Complete garbage

Picked up a 30-pack of these exact same CD-Rs after running out of Philips ones (which worked perfectly).
3 out of 6 failed verification after burning. Additionally, the packaging doesn't have a hard plastic cover - it's just all held up by a piece of glossy wrapper, so the top 5 or so CD-Rs were already scratched, and the clear plastic CD-R top cover had 3 cracks. I verified that the 3 CDs that failed verificaiton indeed hang upon transfer.
Going back to Philips or another brand. Memorex - never again (it used to be good years ago).
