I find the just No-Name brands to be the better. I used to use 3M but
they have turned out to be crap!! I have had to throw away 3 out of 10
lately. For backing up, I usually scandisk after the backup to be sure
there are no bad sectors, but is madd as hell when you do scan disk,
find no errors, the do a reinstall only to find a disk in the set
bad... URGGGG
