Negative Positive
Title: Sellout brand
Review: I usually buy Fuji CD-R media, which are made at the Taiyo Yuden factory and have never failed me.I couldn't find Fuji media at my local $$$-mart, but I figured that Sony media had to be about as good.Instead I learned yet again that if a brand has a contract with $$$-mart, it usually means that they are simply stamping their name on cheap junk.These Sony disks use inferior and unstable phthalocyanine dyes. The quality control is terrible. Even at low recording speeds my Plextor and Lite-on drives often report recording errors (aka: coasters).In contrast, Taiyo Yuden disks use AZO dyes, burn great, and never seem to go bad over time. (Naturally, you should protect any CD-R media from high temperatures/sunlight).PS:If you have Nero software, start up CD-DVD speed and select "Disk Info..." This will tell you the origin and dye type for your CD or DVD!
