Editorial Reviews
This hefty 50-pack of TDK data CD-Rs is designed for use exclusively with computer-based CD burners. You can store up to 700 MB of any kind of data--audio, video, text, programs, data, graphics, etc. When using the discs for music, you'll be able to store up to 80 minutes per disc. These discs are write-once, meaning that once you've recorded something, you may not erase it later. This makes them perfect for everything from one-off music compilations to long-term archival storage.

GadgetMan @ June 18,2002 The best CD-Rs
My first experience with CD-Rs was a long long time ago. It was with some external SCSI Pinnacle burners. No 'burn-proof' technology, 'buffer underrun' messages popped up the very next second you tried to multitask (and it shouldn't be a problem on NT, right?). Then I had Plextor, HP, Sony, TDK burners and writers.
I tried various CD-Rs from Memorex, Sony, HP, Ricoh, even some no-name brands. TDKs always gave me the best results, even with old burners. Right now I don't buy any other CD-Rs but TDK. I have an old HP8100i burner on my old Pentium-Pro PC and I didn't have a coaster in a long time. And it's not even worth mentioning about it when I burn a disk on new veloCD on my P4.
I make data back-ups regularly, burn some music CDs (both MP3s and audio), make copies of some software I own, keep photos from my digital camera, I even have my computer's Ghost image on them. I use both Roxio and Nero. They work on my PC, on my portable CD-player, on my CD deck, in my car, at home and in the office. It works like a charm every time. Luck? Don't think so. Quality? You bet.
And, yeah, for coasters I go to Ikea.

Gary T. Duvall @ May 8,2002 Best CD-R I've Used
I can't vouch for the other reviewers here, but I use a Sony Spressa CRX-140E CD-RW drive with these disks and the only coasters I get are the ones I've accidently caused (due to buffer overruns while accessing other programs when burning, burning the same files twice accidently and cancelling the burn job, etc.) and not because they're a low-quality product. I've gone through probably about 250 of them, too, for various client projects.
Frankly, I switched from Sony to Samsung and then to these, and I find their quality to be quite good, and even when I've thrown them, dropped them, and spilled Coke on them, they still work. Another big plus is the *lack* of decoration on the top, as I prefer my discs nice and simple, without coloring, huge logos, or lines to write things in.
I highly recommend them to anyone looking to get high-quality CD-R discs for the least amount of dough.
Brandy's Mom @ August 20,2010 Pleased with the Product
I've used half of the cds to copy music and have had no problems. It's a good product for the money. Recommended.
PJB "P" @ May 11,2011 No Failures (Unless I Goofed Up!)
These work great! The price (16 cents a disk) was really good for a quality disk.
I haven't made any frisbees (or coasters or scare-the-birds disks) yet. I have used them in 2 different drives, both worked fine. One drive is TDK brand and one is Samsung. The TDK drive doesn't care what disk is thrown into it, it always burns well- even at warp speed. The Samsung is picky, picky, picky. It has made more recycle bin fillers than anything I've ever owned. But, these disks work great in it.
I checked the data on each disk and life was good!
I have not made any audio disks, so I can't attest to their prowess in that realm. Data is fine. Of course, I did not test longevity of the data. However, I have read a couple of testing lab reports giving them good reviews for data retention. Time will tell.
The only complaint I have:
The lid on the container is goofy. It is very hard to twist into the slots. If one does not perfectly & meticulously put it back on, it will come right off. This is a problem for me, as I store these on top of a cabinet, over my head. If I grab the package by the lid, blam! The disks would spill all over the place. My solution was to move the disks to an empty container I had with a dufuss-proof lid.(Also TDK brand, but a couple of years older.)
More Details That Might Help:
These were used a few times in WIndows XP Pro under Nero Program with the Samsung.
They were also used with the TDK drive in Windows 98SE.
Most of them were written in Mac OS X 10.4.11 with the Samsung. Many used Disk Utility & many with Data Backup 3.
I can't attest to the Mac Super Drive writing these disks, as mine is defunct. However, an different Super Drive read them just fine.
I hope this information helps you decide which product to purchase!

Rheumor @ June 8,2002 No problems.
I've had zero problems with these TDKs except of my own making. They are 32X, as is my Backpack burner, so it's a perfect match. The price is awesome, so even the occasional coaster is not too serious.
Robert Barg "Robert @ July 29,2010 TDK CD's
There are dozens of blank CD'S available,probably most of them are good. My reason for selecting TDK goes back many years to their audio tape line. I've used hundreds of TDK cassettes, never experienced defects in any of them. So I determined this same quality still exists in their CD's. I believe it does. Excellent quality & reasonably priced.
Tongeo @ January 25,2012 TDK CD-R Blank Discs
Discs arrived in two days and in perfect condition. Well packaged-no breakage being in plastic container. High quality discs. Great price.
Nicki Pierce @ December 21,2011 Why doesn't this work?
I bought these because we were no longer allowed to bring our ipods to work, but we're allowed to use cd players. I decided to buy a giant stack of blank cds, and burn massive quantity of cds so I can have a variety of stuff to listen to. I started using these, no problem, but then my macbook decided it didn't like them (or so I thought), because my pc wouldn't burn them. I've tried numerous cds, from different places in the stack, and still no such luck. I wish I read the reviews before I bought these, because I wouldn't have wasted my money on them. I ended up buying a smaller stack of blank cds (sony brand) that work wonderfully.
Lilith96 @ December 18,2011 If you like to watch your disc drive spit out CDs....
Then by all means, purchase these blank CDs. I was trying to make a mixed CD of music for Christmas gifts and only 40% of these were recordable.
starwars814 @ December 9,2011 It's a spindle of 50 CDs.
These CDs work great, as they should. I have burned several audio files to them, and have not had a problem with any of them, either in the burning process or the playing process. If you need CDs, I would certainly recommend these.
sweed @ December 5,2011 CD-R Data Disks
I am always worried about purchasing CD's for backing up data on my computer, because sometimes
they don't work or scratch easily. So I do not buy the cheapest ones on the market. I took a chance and ordered these ones and I am very pleased with my purchase. When I need more I will for certain
buy this brand. They work with my computer and I don't deal with constant error messages anymore.

Raymond Miller @ November 18,2011 TDK CDR80CB50 CDR Data 80 Minute 700 MB 52x 50Pack Spindle
The order arrived on time and was in good condition. I have copied one linux image file with success and was able to install this fine OS. I am optimistic that these disks will provide excellent copies as I need them.
Jerry @ November 16,2011 TDK CD-R Discs
Reordered second bundle and havn't had a problem yet. Very satisfied, and will do again next time. Good price, good service.
T. Sun "Harry" @ November 16,2011 Very competitive price and great service by Amazon ....
TDK is a famous Japanese maker of tapes and CD/DVD media. I trust both Amazon and TDK. And the price is competitive even if it is not a "black-Friday" sale.
newwavebossanova @ November 13,2011 Excellent CD-Rs
I'm not going to pretend I'm a CD-R connoisseur, so I'll just say that these CD-Rs are really good. I've used a good amount of CD-Rs, but these ones feel like top-quality ones.
Prasad @ November 10,2011 CD
Excellent quality of CDs. I always wanted to carry a set of mp3 CDs for my car. Unfortuately, most of the cables in the market for aux input as good quality of sound as a CD. Among all CD brands, I found this one with the best price and excellent quality. Excellent buy for the price offered.
William Carpenter "t @ October 27,2011 Great working low price Blank CD Media
Greetings, I've always liked the generic blank media. These TDK disks are top of the line for audio and data. We are burning them like crazy with no problems. Only problem is that they are so inexpensive you have to order a bunch to get free shipping. I suggest you compile a wish list and get it all at one time. Life is good when we have vendors like Amazon.com.
Kyle Rhodus @ October 23,2011 Great CD's for the price!
These CD's are great for the price you pay on them! You get a large amount for cheap! They hold all of the songs i could need on them, and the music sounds great that's downloaded onto them, they are a bit weaker than the more expensive cds, but still have all you could want, for the price!
Mrs P. @ October 3,2011 good
These cds are pretty good. I received them as described. I would buy them again. Like all the cd's you should handle with care.
LouAnn @ September 23,2011 pleased
We are pleased with this product and the price we paid for it. We also recieved it in a timely fashion.
D. R. Schryer @ September 8,2011 Consistently excellent
I have been using TDK blank CDs for several years now and have found them to be consistently excellent -- not a single defective one so far. Highly recommended.
PolsPhoto @ July 13,2011 Great CD-r So far
Im not a expert on CD-R's but from my experience with other brands memmorex, sony, panasonic etc. I will say these have been the best. No problems so far and the quality to me anyway seems good. Def great bang for the buck.
Kevin Stafford @ June 28,2011 For those with massive CD collections and no IPOD to download to.
I just have a CD Deck in my car and refuse to bring my collection mobile. with The countries latest extreme weather especially! I have most of my collection uploaded to my ITUNES and make "Best of" collections. or just copy a CD from my collection and dupe for the car. These TDK's are pretty durable in extreme weather. Also good for people the just download music threw ITUNES or other various outlets. From me, I don't download except maybe from Amazon because they are the only song download source that gives you the 320 download option for a bit more.
50 Discs...8 bucks? Can't go wrong!

All Aly @ June 23,2011 Won't Work on my IMac
I can't even get my computer to read it. I'm very computer literate and am running an updated operating system, 4 CDs have been kicked back out thus far with none of them reading. I just wanted to burn a cd for my mother. :(
machikan @ June 10,2011 Very good product
I had purchased this product with Amazon, found very compitative price. I had burn lot of my MP3 songs, played in different player didn't notice any issues with this media. Thanks Amazon for bringing this product.
zentiger @ March 5,2011 Good quality
For the price these are great quality. You need to get sleeves or something though to keep them from scratching after you burn them.
William G "William G @ September 13,2002 Great cdr
Burns fast on my plextor 24x and even faster on my plextor news 40x usb 2.0 , Only 1 coaster ever and thats because I was running 3d studio max , Tdk I trust
"moodybluz" @ May 1,2002 The worst CD-R I have ever used.
These are branded as "data" CD's, but they are completely useless for backups and data storage. The data CD's that actually appeared to burn successfully (only after I lost 25% of the blanks due to an I/O error I've never had with any other brand) aren't even readable by any machine I've tried them on. Do not rely on these for data storage - the files will appear to be intact, but the data will be garbage.
M. Preuss "martyman" @ November 23,2011 - REVISED - won't burn on multiple PCs
Simple - they don't work. Won't burn on 2 different PCs that I've burned many discs on in the past.
REVISED 12/2011 It must have been the first few discs on the stack that were bad; I tried more of them recently and they work fine. "If at first you don't succeed..."

vicdiamond @ September 28,2011 TDK: The worst CD-R in the world, and in the history of mankind.
There are no words to describe how awful this product is. TDK has the lowest quality media ever. 40 out of 50 discs became useless coasters. Using these discs for burning led to constant errors, when other brands of CD-R worked fine. Don't ever buy these, even under threat of death. What a waste of my money. TDK, you owe me a refund.
