Title: No, no, no. They're garbage.
Product review: The other review on here is completely wrong. You CAN flake off the top of the CD-R with just your fingernail, or even a fine-tipped Sharpie. Sure, you can be careful with them, but varying levels of humidity will render these discs useless within a year. I've had several kinds like this and they're useless. There is NO protective covering to the top of these CD-Rs. This is why you shouldn't buy them!Also, CD-Rs ARE built for durability, if you buy a disc with a good top and a good dye. Japanese Fuji CD-Rs and Azo-dyed Verbatims are two good examples of discs that not only are built for years, but even carry label guarantees for dozens of years of safe file archiving (see Maxell Pro's guarantee on the side of the package)These discs are terrible and made by Prodisc. If you value your data at all, do not purchase these CD-Rs.
