These worked well for my cd-r drive which is a 12x10x32 Lite-on. Mine burns cd-rw @ 10x and it works at that speed. Pretty good! Of course, almost all cd-rw disks read at much slower speeds than cdr disks. Most of the time cd-rw read at 8x (depending on your drive). Most cd-rw drives do not specify the speed at which it reads cd-rw, if your doesn't, it's probably reading cd-rw's @ 8x. These memorex disks are the first CD-RW disks with both, 700MB capacity AND high speed 4-12X. If you have a drive that supports higher than 12x, you should purchase memorex's "Ultra high speed" cd-rw which allow writing @ 12-24X. They come in red box instead of blue.

I've tried a lot of CDs and found you must use the exact speed rated disc for most drives to get reliable results. Despite that these Memorex CD-RW discs work better in my drive than other brands or speeds or even CD-R's. It sucks that the CD Drive Industry has misrepresented drive speeds and disc compatibility to the point where half the disc you buy don't work reliably in a drive. Ordering more of these Memorex right now !

These are the best CD's to back up data or burn music on. They are fast and come with a jewel case. If you have a labeling ability on your printer your can prinout a label or write it with a marker pen. Yes, you'll run into an occasional bad disk that does not copy, but this happens in all brands.

Got this to play MP3 on my 6 disc player in the car. Package arrived as it was suppose to (jewel case, 10 disc pack). Writing speed was average but it works well when used in the car (no skipped tracks etc.)

Don't waste your money on these CD-RW discs. They don't work on all high speed labeled CD-RW drives. Won't work on (name brand) Creative Labs high speed CD-RW drive. Works some on NEC drive, but if you record music on them they "lock up" and and won't allow you to re-write the disk again, it just shows disk error when you try to erase it. I have had no problems with other brands of high speed CD-RW media from Yamaha or Imation.

I tried using these CD's with the Philips Jackrabbit CD-Rewriter and they don't work.
