If you're anything like me, you want a quality product for your money. After using Imation recordable CDs, I've decided to go with another brand.
You can use recordable CDs to do a number of things. You can burn music or data to them. Some folks use them to create mixes of their favorite music. Some even like to use them to backup music CDs. After all, why risk scratching an expensive cd when you can burn it to a recordable one? This can become a headache though when you use unreliable medium to perform these tasks.
The CDs used in this case were specifically CD-R, 700MB, 80 minutes.
The issue with Imation CDs I've used is that they're hit or miss. Sometimes when you burn you get a disc that functions properly. However, often enough you burn a disc and it doesn't function properly. This can be extremely irritating - you're left wondering if there's an issue with the cd player. When you do finally find out that the issue is the disc, it's can be a bit frustrating to know you've wasted your time and money on an inferior product. You may even wonder if you should spend the time trying to burn to another disc. Also, another IT professional informed me that he has had issues with them as well.
In the end, when I purchase something, I want a quality product. Unfortunately, Imation recordable CDs were too prone to errors for my liking.
