| Some cd-rs I've burned from a 50 pack of Taiwan Prodisc made Fuji cd-rs I purhcased somewhat recently have been scanning excellently, all with quality scores of 98+ even at 48x. Ritek made Memorex blacks (the cd-rs that are black on the top & bottom) have scanned slightly lower, averaging around 95-97. I was wondering how the durability (long lasting factor) of Prodisc cd-rs compares to that of Ritek & Taiyo Yuden. So far I've seen Ritek cd-rs seem to have the best reputation for long lasting durability on this forum, followed by TYs, but someone said they've had great results with this from Prodisc as well & the best scans I've gotten from cd-rs so far have been from Prodisc (haven't used TY made cd-rs yet tho) |

| I don't know who that was. I won't EVER buy another Prodisc cd-r. They scratch very easily, flake, ect. Alot of it depends on what you are using them for though. DEFINITELY not for use in the car. |
| I've had pretty good luck with the Prodiscs I've ended up with (so far). I would only use them for everyday use though, not archival purposes, as I don't know how well they'll hold up a few more years down the line.

| Not well. I have some 4-5 year old Prodisc CD-Rs and they are so easily scratched and will flake at the outer edge on the slightest provocation. They are good for temporary storage or giveaways to friends/family. Nothing more. |

To my suprise they seem to hold well, just re-scanned a couple and no sign of problems. Looks like Prodisc have improved quite a bit.
