Of course, I have about 30 or 40 black disks, and have only had one failure.
And (for reasons I won't go into) I suspect that failure may have been the
result of human error.  It seems that you just take your chances when you
buy bulk unmarked disks, since even different orders from the same company
seem to return disks of different quality.  Maybe the same is true of
marked disks.....
