No, I don't recall that particular brand but I also learned the bitter
lesson of "You get what you pay for."  I bought a 200 pack one time
and I had a 30% failure rate.  They were almost free after a rebate.
I since learned that the higher the rated write speed, the better they
supposedly are.  I like the Memorex 48X blanks; they work nicely for
me.  I can't bost of a 100% success rate but pretty close.  I had a
couble fixation time outs and such but mostly they work good.  I'm
sticking to them.  I even had one of those cheap ones lose data on me
after having it on the shelf for a year or so.
