Some early Pearls developed problems, as I recall. As for home made beer 
coasters, I was happily using Sony 48x blanks in my HHB BurnIt until I hit a 
batch that displayed "error" every time. Sony replaced them and the new ones 
were no better, so I relegated the remaining ones to be used for high speed 
duping and that was the end for Sony. Even 52x TDKs that I can buy for $15 a 
spindle in Buffalo have proved to be 100% reliable.
