CD-R: Quality Media Storage
CD-R is a Write-Once format with a storage lifetime that's intended for sharing music, organizing your media library, or archiving important business or personal data.

CD-Rs are compatible with most standard CD readers, which means that after you burn your favorite tunes to a CD-R, you can play them back on most home or car stereos.

With 700MB of space on each disk, you can store up to 80 minutes of standard audio, 150 songs in mp3 format, or up to 350 photos (this number varies widely depending on file format and size).

52X Write Speed: Quick and Convenient
AmazonBasics CD-R disks enable fast write speeds up to 52X for quick, clean data transfer. 52X transfer speed translates to 7.8 MB/s which means that you can burn a full disk in a minute and a half. Plus, quality construction minimizes errors and improves performance.

Customer Reviews

Amazon's Blank CDRs are rebranded Plasmons
I was hoping for Taiyo Yudens, but unfortunately, Amazon's CD-Rs are rebranded Plasmons, according to Nero InfoTool. They're not the worst CDR brand out there, about lower middle of the pack. Plasmons are also rebranded by other manufacturers and sold as the following; Samsung 48X, MediaMac 52X, Davio 52X, Dynex 52X, etc.. Didn't get any coasters during a few of my test burns. However, if you're looking to archive important data, then you might want to use a higher quality brand.

The price is ok; Newegg sells a 50-pack of Verbatim CDRs for $16.99 with free shipping. Obviously Verbatims are much higher quality, and so I've deducted 1 star from the rating. For Plasmon branded CDRs, I'd rather pay 25-30% less, say in the neighborhood of $10-12 (based on Amazon's asking price of $15.10).

No Coasters Here!
Good CD's, they work great, all burned just fine, we have not had a problem. They can burn a full 700 MB CD in 90 seconds, and they have a 1 year Amazon warranty! Why take chances, buy these for a no risk purchase. IF you shop here you already know about Amazon's GREAT customer service & shipping with NO sales tax! I Know of what i speak! I live in TN (the tithe state!) we pay 9.85% tax on EVERYTHING food medicine, you name it, so purchasing through Amazon is a way of life for me & my family!

BTW: The tops of the CD's look real shiney just like the bottoms, kinda cool, I think...

No problems here!
I can't imagine what you would say when reviewing blank cd's, but these do exactly what they're supposed to do! My computer reads them easily, and the playback is perfect. The cd's themselves are aesthetically pleasing as well. They have a nice gold gloss to them that make them look a little classier than the average blank discs. Until recently, I wasn't even aware that Amazon made their own blank discs, so this is a nice surprise. This is a very good deal!
