Memorex 4x 700 MB/80-Minute CD-RW Discs (25-Pack Spindle)
The product arrived in a very timely manner and was in perfect condition when I opened the box. Very fast and efficient service.
| 4 | Today | Absolutely the worst.
These should be taken off the market. Every single one of the discs was corrupt. Unreal. | 1 | Today | Don't trust Amazon
Why buy these online? You can beat this price at WalMart. I have waited a week for an order which has still not shipped. Considering the price and lack of convenience I will likely not use Amazon again. | 1 | Today | One of the worst CD-RWs I have ever bought
Do Not buy this brand. I have used Philips CD-RWs, they work pretty fine numerous writes and erases later.
I bought these from J&R computers, I dont know How I will return these to them now, probably at my own expense. The question is not of money, I spent 3 full days in trying to figure out what's wrong.
I don't know how Amazon still displays this when somebody does a search. Nobody should sell this product. | 1 | Today | Coaster for $14.99. CD-Rws? Look somewhere else!!!
If I could rate it a zero, I'd rate it a -10! Stay away from these! I've saved files on over 100 of these. Everything seems fine until I try to retreive something out of them or remove a file. Then good luck trying to open it back up. It'll say the disc is corrupt or cannot be read at all. And I've tried this on 3 computers. Same thing. Yes, you can imagine my fustration that only 5 discs had info. ARg!!! Please, stay away from these. You have better chance of saving your stuff hand writing it and taking months to file it than getting these to read anything!
And please check your discs immediately after writing. Don't wait till months to find out that your data isn't there.
If you have to get these, copy your data somewhere else and write. Don't cut them and lose them into the blackhole that is Memorex!
They are everywhere but just because they're everywhere and the cheapest out there, and have been around a fairly long time doesn't mean they work. Please Memorex, how can you call these Cd-RWs??? Wish I read all these reviews! | 1 | Today | 25 Frisbees!!!
At less than a dollar per frisbee, this is the best price I can find for frisbees. They don't fly very well and they break relatively easily, but this is the best value I can find for 25 frisbees in one place.
A lot of people are disappointed because they expect to be able to use these discs as rewritable CD media. The problem with that is, they don't work very well for that either. I, too, tested this for myself.
Using Nero Burning ROM, I tried many times to burn different kinds of data onto several of the discs -=AT 4X=-, just like you're supposed to. IT WORKED! It burned fine. Then it took 5 minutes to open a simple HTML document on the burned disc. Subsequent trials run with the "Verify Written Data" checkbox checked revealed that every other sector or so was unreadable after burning. It's like writing with a white crayon, except this is white paper. This persisted on several OTHER computers with different CD burner drives and even different software.
I finally realized what great frisbees these things are. Cheer up people: THEY ARE GREAT FUN! So grab your spindle, go outside, and start chucking these things at your neighbor's annoying dog. =D | 1 | Today | 25 Frisbees!!!

before i can actually burn on any of these cd-rw's i have to do about five "quick erases" on BOTH of my cd-roms (doesn't work if i try it even 20 times on just one cd-rom), before that - gives plenty of writing errors.. plus - half of the cd-roms i tried to use these cd's on refused to read them.. buy something else..
p.s. "is it live or is it memorex?" the label states.. it is dead and it is memorex.. | 1 | Today | not rewritable
These are the worst CD-RW discs on the market. They are NOT rewritable and should be sold as CD-Rs. Look elsewhere as in any where else for rewritable discs. | 1 | Today | Your time is more valuable than money....
I have tried one hundred of these CD-RWs on three different burners (the first 50 were sent back to the manufacturer at my expense). The results are as follows: 70% will not complete the writing process. 10% completed the writing process but were illegible at a later use. 15% would not write a second time, and only 5% were reliable beyond 2 writes and multiple reads.
You might say "hey these are relatively inexpensive, so even if some don't work, I am still ahead of the game." The reality is these CD-RWs will be a big time sink for you. Your PC will stall and stammer, your drive will make strange noises, often for several minutes, as it attempts to read these CDs. Writing is even a bigger waste of time - you will be alerted there was an error in the writing process while 10 - 15 minutes into the process (being only 4X).
My advice is to buy the competitor's higher price version and save your TIME (and get value for your money).
PS: I see the price of the competitor's equilavent item is now lower than this brand, so choosing is a "no-brainer". | 1 | Today |
