Customer Reviews

Dependable
I have just purchased my third spindle of 50 of this type of CDR (my first from Amazon). I use the CDR's in my business for transporting large amounts of information (scanned in *.tif images, programs, etc.) and for burning music CD's. Dependibility is a big issue with me as the information I burn to these CD's is often used in court room presentations.

I have never once had a problem with this type of CDR. I've used other, more expensive, brands that worked just as well, but these are generally the cheapest. And since I've never had a problem with them, I will continue to use this brand as long as they're available.

Some Fuji discs not Taiyo Yuden, be careful!
Based on some web research, I aquired a fifty pack of Fuji CDR media, because they were made in Japan by Taiyo Yuden. The quality was suberb, not a single coaster while burning data and music at 48x.

When that supply ran dry, I discovered that the 100 packs were made in Taiwan-NOT by Taiyo Yuden. The quality was much worse.

I have since found that some of the fifty packs are also not Japanese made, and hence not Taiyo Yuden.

This probably explains the difference in the reviews here at Amazon. If you find a package of Fuji discs marked "Made in Japan", you are getting good Taiyo Yuden discs, but if they are made elsewhere, don't expect the same quality.

Good Quality But Failed in Light Fastness Test
I bought a spindle of this Fuju CDR made in Japan by TY. Physical quality is number one among the brands that I ever used, burning quality and compatibility are also number one.

Then I burned one disc of each brand, and put them on my window for a sun burning test. After 20 days, Fuji lost its color completely, not readable anymore. I was surprised.

If you are interested, here is the result for some other brands,

Verbatim, can only burn at 16x in my 24x burner, 70% C2 error in old cd drive after 40 days

Maxell, can only burn at 8x in my 24x burner, less than 1% C2 error in old cd drive after 40 days, 0% C2 error in cd burner

Memorex, can burn at 24x, 30% C2 error on day 1 in old cd drive, 2% C2 error after 40 days in cd burner. Worst compatibility.

Fuji, can only burn at 16x, 0% C2 error on day 1 in old cd drive, died after 20 days.

Fuji was made in Japan, all others in Taiwan, all rated at 40x or 48x.

I will try Maxell CD-R pro next to see how long it will last under the sun.
