Billinois's Reviews
These fast-paced CD-R discs each disc store up to 700MB of data or 80 minutes of music, for expanded playlists.

The price isn't quite as low as I'd like it to be (but what is these days, right?), but not too bad either. I lucked out this time anyway due to having a gift card.
Shipping was pretty fast, which is always good. The only issue was that the base of the cd spool (the bottom of the holder) was cracked off on one side, so I ended up transfering the discs to an old spool I had laying around. I don't blame Best Buy since it was more likely done during shipping. The cd's themselves weren't harmed so no big deal.
As for the discs, I haven't had a single problem with any. Not even one. They burn quickly, quietly and efficiently, and playback perfectly. I've used about half of them so far, trying different colors, which are great for helping distinguish themselves from each other in your cd case (or wherever you keep them once burned). Bland grey discs tend to become bothersome when you have a lot of them.
My only slight issue is with the black discs. They're really sharp looking, but due to being ALL black, there's no place to clearly write on it unless you have a white Sharpie or something that which will show on black. I have a yellow Sharpie which worked alright as well. I would suggest Memorex let a small section on the disc be white, yellow or tan so one can write on it legibly.
Overall, a worthy purchase which I would make again, as long as there is a good sale.

What's great about it: Quality discs work efficiently, different colors help tell discs apart.
What's not so great: Difficult to write on black discs.
I would recommend this to a friend!
