KHypermedia 80-Minute/700 MB 48x Blank CD-Rs (200-Pack Spindle) Reviews

• Space is 650 MB not 700 MB

  I bought the Khypermedia CD-R 50 pack, the cd space was mentioned 700MB but my drive ( khypermedia drive) always complains about its size if the data > 640MB.

  I tried to call Khpermedia service center but the phone was never picked up. I left 3 voice mails no response after 4 months. Later on I tried to call merchant and complain about its size they said we will take it back if it is not opened and used which is not possible. At last I end up with paying more for less space.

  Amazon beware of this product.
  
  

• Lots of bad disks using NERO5

  I have gone through 400 of these cd's and I would guess I probably have 25 per box of 200 that are bad at least. The verification after burn gets a lot of bad writes. The cd-rom I use is capable of 52x burn but I have to burn at 34x to even get decent good cd's. If I push it to 48x, I would suspect my failure rate to exceed 20%. The quality of the disks is obviously lacking.
  
  

• So Burn Slower

  I'm about to finish my third box of the 200 pack. I assume I must've had a coaster or two in there somewhere but can't say for sure - certainly no major problems.
  The one problem I had was with eleven blanks together with every other one flipped - looked weird, had the logo printed on the wrong side. I emailed Khypermedia about it and the next week I had eleven replacements.
  Ability to burn at maximum speed is over-rated what with the basic overhead of burning at the beginning and end of the process. So they take four minutes to burn instead of three, big deal. If you're burning video (SVCD's for example), you shouldn't be going anywhere near maximum speeds anyway.
  
  

• The CD's are good price but about 5-10% are bad

  I was losing a good 30% of the cd's to bad verification with 52x burns using Nero5. I went down to 32x burns and I still have about a 5-10% bad verification. Sometimes I'll have 3 bad cd's in a row. The price is the only reason to get these. If you want to really burn a lot of cd's its tough to beat but it's also a big time waster as you throw out a good 15-20 cd's in the pack at 32x speed burns.
  
  

• KHypermedia EXTREMELY POOR QUALITY

  I made the mistake of recording photos from my digital camera onto the KHypermedia 80 min/700mb CD-R discs. I have lost most of these photos forever. Some of the CDs that I had put labels onto began to peel and the CD peeled with the label making it completely useless. Some of the CDs began to turn yellow for no reason. They have not been stored in the sun or near any heat source. Some of the other CDs simply don't read correctly and pop up with error messages. I've had to try and copy what photos I could onto new brand name CD-Rs by Memorex but most of the photos are simply lost and irreplaceable. My husband is a computer tech so we have a very good computer and CD-Rom player. It is not user error - it's simply poor quality and I would not recommend buying anything from this company.
