Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Ideal for backing up files or making custom music CDs, this CD-R medium can record up to 700 MB of data or 80 minutes of music. Compatible with 1x through 16x recorders, it can achieve up to 1 million read cycles and has an archival life of up to 100 years. Since it is standard CD recording media (CD-R), rather than rewritable (CD-RW), a disc may only be used once, although with the proper settings in supported software, you can add to the disc in more than one recording session until it is full, a procedure known as multisession recording. However, the disc cannot be erased and used again.

Each disc in this package of 50 comes with a one-year warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars These are the best CD-Rs I've found, September 5, 2001

This review is from: Memorex 32024750 CD-R, 80 Minute, 700 MB, 40x (Black, 50-Pack Spindle) (Electronics)

These CDs are amazing - far better than the TDKs I had used before, which surprised me because I've long preferred TDK cassettes over Memorex. Actually, I've preferred almost everything over Memorex, and I only bought these because it was such a good sale when I saw them, and because I had become so irritated with the outrageous fail rate of other CD makers. I bought this pack of 50. Out of the 20 or 25 I've burned, I've not had a single bad one, which is amazing in the world of CD-R media. They burn quickly and cleanly and without a problem; my CD-RW has never had a problem using them (which it sometimes has with others).

I highly recommend these disks, and will not be using any other manufacturers any more (unless at some point Memorex proves itself unworthy). But when you have something that works so perfectly, what's the point of trying any other brand any more? There is no point. So I will use these exclusively.

As a last irrelevant note, the black color, while not necessary, nor making a bit of difference to recording or playback, *is* really cool looking.

5.0 out of 5 stars High quality and low cost, March 26, 2001

This review is from: Memorex 32024750 CD-R, 80 Minute, 700 MB, 40x (Black, 50-Pack Spindle) (Electronics)

These Memorex blank CDs are simply the best combination anywhere of high quality and low cost. Three factors make these discs stand out as your best buy:

First, they are rated for burning at up to 16x, which is nice for those with fast CD-ROM burners. Sometimes you'll find that substandard media won't REALLY burn as fast as the label claims, which is very annoying. With these Memorex discs, however, I've NEVER experienced a problem with diminished burn speed. They cook perfectly at 16x every time.

Second is reliability. Out of my last spindle I had NOT A SINGLE DEFECTIVE CD. Not one defective CD out of fifty blanks! Quite remarkable, considering that many blank CD vendors consider a 10-15% failure to be acceptable.

Finally, the low cost of these excellent discs- just fifty cents each- is hard to beat. I've seen other manufacturers offering spindles of fifty discs... but they were of vastly inferior quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Misinformation, March 8, 2002

This isn't really a review, persay - but I've long since used the normal Memorex brand - I just purchased the Black CD-R's for the first time, mainly because of an interesting article. For those of you who say that the 'color' of the disc doesn't effect anything - well, you're wrong.

A CD is reflective, that's how the laser reads the data. The less reflective (IE: Lighter color dye) the harder it is for the drive to read the data, where as more reflective (IE: darker color dye) makes it far easier.

Why do you think Sony chose the black CD's for the playstation? It wasn't for the copy protection bit - it was because they used inexpensive lasers and it's easier for them to read the black CD's.
