For the most part they're a commodity item, but I have had some problems with el cheapo brands in the past. Hey, they're CD's. I've never had an issue with Maxell; they are the primo brand.
Moreover, these blank CD-Rs are capable of recording data at high speeds. If you need to label the discs, label its jewel case using a post-it note. Maxell makes a very reliable blank CD-R that can handle up to 80 minutes of music or 700 megabytes of data. 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. It's just better protection for your CD-Rs that have anything stored on them. The ink can seep through the top coating of the CD-R disc and slowly but surely compromise your data--and you wouldn't want that, now would you. After your burn data or music onto them, I would recommend storing them in slim jewel cases instead of paper sleeves.
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 the packaging advertises. Great. This can happen if your burner doesn't have the capacity to burn faster, or it may be a quirk. In addition, DON'T write on these using Sharpie ink pens. 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. While the discs are still blank, store them in the circular case on the spindle that they came in. I went shopping recently at a local store that sells computer hardware and the like; and I picked up my third helping of these great CD-Rs by Maxell.
The CD-R discs are compact and easy to store. I have used these as data discs and discs to record audio. I almost never got a coaster. Overall, Maxell blank CD-R discs store data very reliably and I believe that an extra minute or so to burn the data onto the blank disc is well worth it just in case it doesn't actually burn at the very highest speed advertised.
So I go through a lot of disks, backing up each day's work. The Maxell CD-R 700/80 are the ONLY disks that the Lappys love. Well, that was my first laptop. Buying the CDs by the 100-count is the only way to go. As a professional writer, and as the sister of a comp-sci professor, I don't go to bed without backing up my work.
Every morning that Lappy Junior springs to life is a miracle of grace and I recognize that as a true fact. Both Lappy and Lappy Junior would forecefully spit out all other CDs with great disdain and disgust. Yes, my laptop has a name: "Lappy". I personally spent at least $3.2 million trying to find a CD that Lappys I & II would accept. A nice extra touch is that there's no shipping on these CDs (if you have Amazon.com Prime) and the price here is $9 less than competing brick and mortar (or steel and plastic) office warehouse stores.
My current laptop is affectionately known as Lappy Junior. The 100-count of CDs that I ordered were sitting in my office 36 hours after I placed the order at amazon.com.
