This is the second time I've purchased this spindle. I've experienced a 20% failure rate with these CDs. I have new equipment and I'm adept with the technology so I'm thinking it's the product. Quality control needs to be stepped up a notch.

I've been using Verbatim for many years. On both DVD and CD, I've bought more than 20 spindles, but I rarely have problem with burning. I will keep using it!!

Excellent product. However the packaging for this product is the worst of all the items I have ever ordered. My CD stack came in broken and I had no time to return it....

We use this product on a daily basis and have no complaints at all. The product is priced well below the store-front price and having it delivered to my door makes it even better.

I purchased these to do limited production of my new CD and they really work well. I have not had a single failure yet. The price was fantastic and Verbatim is a great name. I will definitely look for these the next time I am ready to buy.

Great So Far. - Review written on March 01, 2008

I didn't give 5 stars because I've only burned 2 CDs so far. Both were perfect and I used 2 different drives to burn them: My Mac Mini CD burner and an external Plextor burner (model PX-740UF). The price was great and so far the product is great.

Verbatim makes a very reliable blank CD-R that can handle up to 700 MB of data or 80 minutes of music. Moreover, these blank CD-Rs record data at speeds up to 52x. I have used these as data discs and discs to record video. I also get very few, if any, coasters.

The CD-R discs are compact and easy to store. While the discs are still blank, store them in the circular case on the spindle that they came in. After your burn data onto them, I would recommend storing them in slim jewel cases instead of paper sleeves. It's just better protection for your CD-Rs that have data stored on them. Don't store these discs, burnt or blank, in rooms that become very hot; this causes damage to any brand of this type of disc and you could lose data over time.

There are two caveats that many other people note about any brand of this product: when you are burning the data onto the blank disc, don't be surprised if you see that the data is burning at a rate slower than 52x. This can happen if your burner doesn't have the capacity to burn faster, or it may be a quirk. I am not a professional so I cannot be certain of precisely what causes this phenomenon; but I assure you that the extra minute or two (tops) that you wait to get your CD-R completed is worth the wait. In addition, DON'T write on these using Sharpie ink pens. The ink can seep through the top coating of the CD-R disc and compromise your data. In fact, don't write directly on these--period. You risk losing your information. Don't attach labels of any sort, either.

Overall, Verbatim blank CD-R discs store data reliably and I believe that an extra minute to burn the data onto the blank disc is well worth it.

We use these in the PC shop where I'm a technician and I also order them here for myself. I haven't once ran across a burner that wouldn't write or read these. Get version 7 of Nero (Version 8 bites...)and you'll have what you need to burn to your hearts delight!

I have always bought verbatim cdrs for their quality. I have burnt a couple of thousand cds in my years and maybe just got about 30 coasters, and that could be due to my burner. My first choice will always be verbatim.

I've only been burning CDs a little over a year. I started with the Sony brand thinking I was getting a high quality product. However, I had numerous burn failures and/or playback problems. So I checked the reviews on Sony CD-Rs. Those reviews led me to switch, and I chose Verbatim which in general seemed to be favorably rated. I bought this spindle of 100 and just used the last one. 100 of 100 of the CDs successfully burnt and played. So I ordered my second Verbatim spindle. As far as my experience with Verbatim goes, I've been VERY satisfied.

Having had a horrible ratio with Memorex CD-Rs, I have never had to throw away a Verbatim CD-R because it was could not read data ... positively pleased.

The specs for this product - - unlike similar items - - do not identify any qualifications on their use. So be forewarned that the Sony CD Recorder will not write to these discs. The error message is "Data Disk".

Memorex, Maxell, TDK, HP, and many other disks are behind verbatim in quality. These CD-Rs are very compatible with so many devices, they are not very sensitive to scratches, and rarely fail to burn. They can even be over burned 20-30MB without too much trouble. I have been using Verbatim for years, and these are the best in their great series of disks

No matter what brand of Cd's one uses, there are always some failures in every box. But you really can't go wrong buying 100 CD-R's at this price. I picked mine up at Office Max, and I'm very happy with them.

The Worst CD-Rs I Have Ever Used For Audio CDs. - Review written on January 27, 2006

Rating: 1 out of 5
3 customers found this review helpful, 5 did not.

I have been using CD-Rs since 1999 and have never had as much of a problem with CD-Rs as these. Sometimes the burn okay, but the data verification stage usually fails. I use Nero to burn CDs. They seem okay for data CDs (which I wouldn't have bought a 100pk spindal for data CD use). For audio CDs I have had a horrible results. They burn okay, but hardly any of my CD players will read them. I have tried brand new DVD players to play the audio CDs with the same result. Sometimes they will play, but the tracks will pop, his and sound distorted. Eventually the sound quality drops over time. I think I would be better off with an LP Record compared to the sound and over all and life span of these. As they get older, the few that discs CD players can read have tracking problems. When you press for instance track 8 it takes a long time to seek to that track and plays the wrong track in the middle of the track too. My very first set of CD-Rs (bought in 1999) were Verbatium when they were still made in Japan. Those original discs were great and they still play like new to this day. Based on my experience I would not recommend these unless you only need to burn data. My last 50Pk was Sony and they worked perfectly. I have also used Memorex, Fuji, Kodak, IBM to name a few of the main ones with out a single bad burn or problem. I did have issues with audio CDs with older Imations (4X speed) so I will not purchase the Imation as well as the Verbatium brand CD-Rs ever again.

I have been using various CD/DVD burners, and sometimes certain combinations of blank media and burners have given me troubles. I found Verbatim blank media always reliable, no matter which burner I use. Till a few years ago, Verbatim media were harder to find in retail stores, but these days it is no longer a problem. Since they are getting cheaper than they used to be, I always end up trying a burner with Verbatim media to make sure the *burner* is not a pooper. You can never tell which is bad if you do this with Memorex media!

I bought these after buying TDK for the past 5 years and now only being able to get Memorex at a low price (I've had very bad experiences with Memorex CDRs in the past). These were surprisingly cheap as Verbatim is one of the highest quality blank media brands. Not surprisingly, the discs lived up to expectations on my Plextor-716A drive. I haven't tested a whole lot yet, but the ones I did test, burn flawlessly and when disc scans were run, there were no errors. You really can't go wrong with Verbatim. Just buy them.

I have had very good success with the Verbatim CD-Rs.

Before using these, I had bought some of another well known brand. The others did not work well at all for me. I had a failure rate of over 50%. With the Verbatim brand, I have not had any that failed out of about 75 tried.

I would say that this particular media is a very good product based upon my experience.

I just got a spindle of these with the same part number from CompusaBusiness. They are not MCC dye, they are CMC Magnetics Corp dye type 6. If you want true Mitsubishi/Verbatim discs, don't buy these.

Also, note this item ships from Office Depot, not Amazon, they charge high shipping.
