The disc case is aesthetic and very nice for keeping the CD's clean and handy but is too fragile to just toss in a box and ship. My case showed up in about six pieces that I was able to super glue back together, the spindle was in several Pieces and the outside shell was split. It could have been a lot worse, all of the CD's survived and the storage container is still functional so I'm a happy camper.

These CD-R's are the best. Buy them Now!

for certain applications, 700mb is the only option. unfortunately these lower-end memorex cd-r's are really substandard and produce an enormous array of errors--even when burned at 2x.

they might be acceptable if one is burning a disc of relatively small files of say 10mb or less. but for disc-at-once applications or disc-image copying, well...

here's my short list of things i plan to do with my collection of 40 or so memorex duds:

swanky drink coasters
ammunition for letterman to throw from buildings
disposable frisbees
tied to a coat-hanger to make a post-modern baby mobile

the possibilities are endless...

if you want these to function in the manner for which you most likely purchased them however, pay the extra $ and get the memorex black.

Memorex is great and everything but these are not silver (Like real CD's) --> They are green.

These disks work fine for data, but I've never been able to get them to work for music at ANY speed. They either skip or don't play at all. I've not had the same problems with media from other companies.
