Advantages: Very cheap, very reliable, you probably wont run out for a long time! Disadvantages: Can get damaged quite easily, no CD-cases to protect them
...years too (according to the BenQ website) - if they are kept in the perfect conditions. Where I got them & price
I decided to purchase these BenQ CD-R's as I felt that 100disks which hold 700MB, for only £10, is a really good price. This works out at about 10p per CD, which isn't bad at all! It sounds ridiculous that you can pay a couple of quid for a few floppy disks, combining about 5MB, where as for £10 you can get 100 CD-Rs which combined will ... ...Packaging
The BenQ packaging is pretty simple, but allows for quick easy access to the disc, for even the laziest people. All the discs are placed on a spindle type device, a little plastic stick fixed to a plastic base, with a see-through plastic container type lid. The CD's sit on the spindle and you simply take off the lid and pull one off whenever you want one. The lid gets pushed to the base and then turned to slot into place, and you hear ...

Advantages: Cheap and no problems so far. Disadvantages: Like any cd, you have to check they are ageing ok.
I've been using BenQ CD-R's for getting on for a year I think and haven't had any trouble with them yet.
PRICE
=====
Check out Amazon.co.uk for this 100 shrink-wrapped pack for just £10.99! The prices seem to have been slashed by about 50% in the last month or so. (Note that they're just shrink-wrapped though - no spindle I think).
THE SPECS
==========
The technical info over on Amazon says that they have an estimated life of 100 years and ... ...pricey so I tried these BenQ CD-R's and I've been glad I have so far (not that it hurts to give your CD's a quick visual inspection from time to time to ensure they are ageing well, or get the data off there while you still can).
I now also have some Maxell CD-R's that were on offer at the time and I tend to treat those as the better CD's for things I really want to keep safe (purely because of Maxell's reputation and price, nothing bad on BenQ's ...

Advantages: Cheap and reliable Disadvantages: None so far.
After seeing other reviews of these CD's, of which I had not previously heard of, but as they were going at a cheap price on Amazon I thought I might as well give them a go. So first of all, the site: http://www.benq.co.uk/Products/Media/index.cfm?product=137
These are the 700megs ( or 80 mins of audio ) write once cd's ( CD-R ) These are not specifically aimed at a particular usage, and I haven’t used them for just one use, but mainly for quick ... ...cant say that I have used them for VCD's ( video cds ) as of yet, but if I do then ill add their performance on at a later date. So after around a years heavy usage of these little gems I can say that I have only had one write error on them, and that was my fault, thus causing the cd writing software to crash rendering the cd useless. ...( my processor maybe hyper threaded, but it can only deal with so much "oops" )
So hands up that was my fault ...
