I'll never know how long-lasting these Delkin disks really are, because I ended up discarding most of them. Several were defective outright and didn't burn properly because of problems such as a pitted surface. The wallet concept was also very bad for unrecorded media, since it meant the discs already had too much dust on the surface, coming right out of the package. I tried blowing them off with canned air, but that didn't always get rid of everything. Sure enough, despite my best efforts, I ended up mostly with flawed dye layers. Even really cheap media perform better than this. If there weren't so many defective discs in the two Delkin wallet packages I purchased, I might have considered buying a spindle of blank Delkin discs in the future. Above all, this wallet thing is a dog. Avoid at all costs.
