    I just got some about a week ago. They were pretty inexpensive so I gave them a whirl. I'm using a Plextor Premium 52X and the first thing I noticed is that both CloneCD 4.2.0.2 and PlexTools Pro 2.08 wanted to kick the burn down to 40X when doing a straight audio disc copy but with great results.

    Next I used Nero and set the burn at 52 X and got this:
    C1:
    Avg/sec : 2.9
    Max/Sec : 29.0
    Total : 7952.0
    No C2 or CU

    Then I used Nero again and kicked it down to 40X and ended up with ths:
    C1:
    Avg/Sec : 0.4
    Max/Sec : 17.0
    Total : 1127.0
    No C2 or CU

    Seems the best burn is around 40X but even at 52X there weren't any C2. Can't say about the longevity as I've only had them a week! Here's the ATIP:

    ATIP: 97m 15s 17f
    Disc Manufacturer: Ritek Co.
    Reflective layer: Dye (Short strategy; e.g. Phthalocyanine)
    Media type: CD-Recordable
    Recording Speeds: min. unknown - max. unknown
    nominal Capacity: 702.82MB (79m 59s 70f / LBA: 359845)

    I got them at supermediastore (click-through to help AD) for $28/100. Hope this helps.
