I had purchased a pack of the generic CDR's from CompUSA and have found that they do not stand up well to anything but very careful treatment. The coating is coming off a number of them rendering them useless. Although they only cost me $0.20 each they are worthless if they don't last. I am currently using some of the PNY brand that I picked up on sale at BestBuy, they cost $0.30 each but have a far superior backing and are less prone to self-destructing.
