Advantages: High Quality, Low cost, Full size jewel cases Disadvantages: |Bulky. 700mb only.
...There isn't much to say about CD-R's really. These ones by Maxell come in a box of ten, and include full size jewel cases (album size). They are of limited size being 700mb, 80mins but are of adequate quality to be used for both audio and data. The jewel case comes with an inlay which is usefull for writing down a track listing. Media complies with Orange Book Part II standard, though it disclaims writing on this product at slower then real time (1x).
I have used cheaper media in the past, and wouldn't recommend it. On the other hand I see little point in forking out for high quality disks. I bought my current pack for £4 on ebay, but recently saw the same product for £6.99 in Safeway.
A good product, providing reasonably good quality with decent value....

...I bought a set of these disks from an ebay seller at approximately 15p per disk including cases. For that price I wasn't expecting much but i decided to give them a go anyway and was pleasantly suprised to see that the first set worked well without a single failure. They advertise a maximum write speed of 24X which seems pretty realistic and have a nice surface on them which is pretty ink friendly. However, the second batch of these that i tried had a much higher failure rate of three in ten in the same Sony drive. Still for under 15p per disk i can't really complain as the majority of them were great. these really are a bargain and are much faster than some of the unbranded ones flodding the market. Would recommend but try and check drive compatibility. They didn't work to well in my Sony but that may have been a bad batch....

Advantages: Re-Writable CD, 74min record time, 650MB storage Disadvantages: Small storage compared to Re-Writable DVD's
...The Imation CD-RW 650 MB24x discs are an excellent way to back up or store data at home or at work. I know it's not much storage compared to DVD-RW's but these still come in use as I still use them sometimes myself. As sometimes you don't need 4.7GB that a DVD can hold.
Imation CD-RW rewritable discs have an increased recording speed of 24x and noise free play for a wide range of applications. Even though the CD-RW format requires speed compatible disc burners for recording, the discs can be used in standard CD-R/RW drives as well as Multi-read CD-R/CD-ROM, DVD-ROM and rewritable DVD drives. This is very useful as you may have a drive which can handle more speed which shouldn't have a compatibility issue.
Main features and functions:
- Storage media type CD-RW
- 10 discs
- 650 MB storage
- 74min recording time
- Write Speed: 24x...

I brought this discs for about £6 or £7, assuming they would work fine... BUT, 3 computers would only read them as about 90mb, what's going on here? All drivers up to date etc. So, they were just led on a shelf doing nothing for ages... Then, when I... more
I bought one of these in March 2008.
It's the first laptop I ever bought, so I was looking for something cheap, good-looking and that works well.
I came across this, lovely sleek black samsung R700, it has a nice big bright screen, so looking at... more
