    Hi,

    How reliable are the cheap £1 blank disc packs you get in these £1 stores? Are they all the same, or is there quality involved?

    They should be fine for the most part. Usually they're a cheaper brand, but they're also sold in much smaller quantities (so you're only getting 5 or 10 instead of 25, etc).

    Well, I think that these blank discs are all of the same quality, the only difference is that some brands are more expensive than the others, just like flash drives.

    I have found virtually no difference (except the brand name vs. off brand) with the discs. Best think on any dollar store product is try it on something that is not urgent or rely on it, until you have tested it a while. If it works, I know to go back and get more, since sometimes they only have limited lots of a particular brand (even a generic).
