Well, someone always has something negative to say about every brand so I
don't know how much credence this really has, but...  I bought 2 boxes of
SS OPUS diskettes on sale and I had 4 disks unable to format completely in
SS and 8 diskettes format completely in DS.  Of those that formatted, 2 have
lost data causing me to lose work.  I don't use them for anything now.
I use Maxell and Sony and they have been pretty much problem free.
