...services like this mean one of two things. Either they have completely inadequate resources which means they do not care at all about customers who are inconvenienced or they have sufficient resources but there are just so many complaints any number of people could not handle them all. I wonder what it is with Memorex.
Eventually I gave up and Staples gave me a refund. I have replaced the CD-ROM with an LG one from PC World at £50. More expensive yes but at least it works.
I would avoid Memorex computer products unless you can determine properly that they will work as back-up service is atrocious....

Advantages: Jewel case included Disadvantages: Inconsistent burn success, expensive, not printable
...Memorex have a long history of media production for computers, so it is little surprise to see them releasing writable DVDs in the rapidly-expanding home burning market. Although not one of the brands I would have picked initially by choice, I have bought several more boxes of the DVD+R disks because I found them to be consistently good.
Being one of these people who like to try all the functions of their computer hardware, I was eager to test the -R burning format on my new DVD writer so whilst buying new DVD+R disks, I picked up a set of -Rs to match.

Initially when I purchased these disks, they were £5.99 for 5 jewel-cased disks from WH Smith. At that time DVD media was still relatively expensive so £1...

Advantages: Suitable space for small files etc Disadvantages: If you want to use this for big data, try something else.

However, as I started to use the CD-R's, I noticed that they were very useful for the taks that I wanted to perform. So I used them more and more, using them for the tiniest of files. Provided me with hours of swapping CD's with friends.
