-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 No, I don't recall that particular brand but I also learned the bitter lesson of "You get what you pay for." I bought a 200 pack one time and I had a 30% failure rate. They were almost free after a rebate. I since learned that the higher the rated write speed, the better they supposedly are. I like the Memorex 48X blanks; they work nicely for me. I can't bost of a 100% success rate but pretty close. I had a couble fixation time outs and such but mostly they work good. I'm sticking to them. I even had one of those cheap ones lose data on me after having it on the shelf for a year or so.
