Fellowes CD Sleeve File media storage box

Advantages: Huge Compatibility, Extremely Cheap
Disadvantages: Can only be written to once

...These TDK Compact-Disk Recordables are part of the first generation (now redundant) of recordable media. These CD's allow you to transport your files around and with the capacity being much greater than a floppy disk you can carry around even more files even easier. The need for the use of 'Recordable Cd's' was increased as there are more and more business people using Laptops now which of course all have CD and not Floppy Disk Drives. Unfortunately the great limitations to these CD's are that they can be written to once. Back when these were the only type of Recordable CD's they cost quite a lot and so when I made a mistake by writing the wrong file to a disk it would be a very expensive one as that disk would have to be thrown away!

Advantages: Good floppy disk replacement
Disadvantages: Expensive media and lack of universal support.

..., then if you want to send files, I'd reccomend Zip. Most designers, publishers and other Macintosh-based companies prefer to use a simple '100 disk than CD, due to it's compatibility. Meanwhile, if your working with larger documents than graphics, then I'd reccomend either buying a large Jaz drive (multiple gigabytes on a disk!) or investing in a CD-burner, which provide much cheaper storage: A MAC100 disk costs £9.95, and stores 100Mb which is approximately 9.95 pence per megabyte. A box of ten 650Mb CD-RW media costs 12.95: much, much less at 0.0001 pence per megabyte. With CD-R and CD-RW, media is so cheap you don't actually have to ask for it back, meanwhile whenever I have 'borrowed' Zip disks from work, the boxes are often laden down with 'Please Return to: ' stickers. The downside with using CD-R or CD-RW based media is that you have... Read review

Advantages: Suitable space for small files etc
Disadvantages: If you want to use this for big data, try something else.

...I brought this product along time ago, years ago when I first decided that I wanted to record music, files etc. But mostly, I just wanted them for the sake of having them. However, as I started to use the CD-R's, I noticed that they were very useful for the taks that I wanted to perform. So I used them more and more, using them for the tiniest of files. Provided me with hours of swapping CD's with friends. Specifications: Product Description - Memorex Professional CD-R x 10 - 700 MB - storage media. Type - Storage media - CD-R Recording Time - 80min The product contains 10 CD-R's within a CD case, each having a suitable space, useful for writing specific information, easily identifying the individual CD-R's. Each one has 700MB of available space, each one waiting for you to use it cramming it full of your recent, favoruite music... Read review
