I brought this discs for about £6 or £7, assuming they would work fine... BUT, 3 computers would only read them as about 90mb, what's going on here? All drivers up to date etc. So, they were just led on a shelf doing nothing for ages... Then, when I built a new Desktop computer, with a brand new drive, suddenly it works with this new drive! Well, after installing the latest drivers anyway... So, if you have got a very new drive, as in a drive which has only recently come out, these will work, if you don't, then go for another brand, this will be no good, unless you only want 90MB of space! The case is alright, although not that stong, a fair few of them cases actually just broke when I opened them, so open them carefully!
