This is my first review. So far I never had to comment on products, because I could always share the average opinion. BUT these blanks are far too high rated. I use different brands for years. Verbatim, MediaRange and even NoName from China. I had no such problems with us with this one. Clear the price is better than the Verbatim but the committee is too high. Could just described 5 times successfully blanks of this spindle. This is absolutely unacceptable. For me, the worst to date blank. Will prefer to invest a little more money than back to buy such a crap.
