Pros: Nice looking, takes up little desktop space

Cons: Runs very warm and the two I bought both failed at right around 7 months of use. Had the same experience as the other reviewer with the errors and drive not being recognized by the computer.

Overall Review: Could not keep one of them working long enough to get everything off of it.. and there wasn't a lot on it yet. The other one I was able to rescue the data from. Seagate replaced the one that I sent back with a refurbished drive. Will be sending the other one back as well. Don't know what I will do with the replacements... paperweights maybe?

Pros: There was a rebate when I bought these

Cons: Had way too many "successful burns" end up in the trash can. I thought that these were supposed to be higher end quality media.

Overall Review: Won't be buying these again. Will go back to what I was using before.

Comments: I bought these the beginning of October and have had more coasters with them than I had with the Ridata Discs that I used previously. Could possibly have been a bad batch since I noticed others had problems with them at that time as well. No loss though since I got them with a $xx rebate.
