Title: Make sure to test your CDs - high failure rate
Review: I spent a lot of time recently backing up digital photos on CDs and got frustrated enough with this brand that I feel the need to warn folks about it. They seem to produce a large number of duds that won't play/open after you burn them. Some won't even burn in the first place, others will pretend to have burned just fine but won't open with any drive I've tried. Make sure you test your backup CDs to verify that your computer can read them before erasing the data from your computer! From the package I had bought, I ended up throwing away 15% of the CDs after burning and finding out they didn't work. Had I not tested them before deleting files, I would have lost a lot of photos I thought I had just backed up. Bought another brand (HP) and went through almost 50 CDs so far and have not had to throw a single one away yet.
Is the review positive or negative?
