Well, I ordered 100 of them and have had MANY problems with them. I may have
gotten a bad batch, but I was backing up my hard drive and had about 30%
FAILURE rate on them. I have even had a couple which have had track 0
bad!

I'm not pleased. I would MUCH rather pay the $1.25 for real SONY DS/DD disks
which have NEVER gone bad on me. I've had at least one disk of every type
I've tried go bad EXCEPT SONY DS/DD disks...
