Advantages: good memory, fast speed
Disadvantages: nothing partcularly special

...as any other disc would, RiDisc claim to be constantly improving the discs but in my opinion these must be extremely small improvements. At the end of the day it's your computer that does the hard part by burning the data. Value for money - All blank discs are relatively cheap (around 15P) or around 25P each for the more dearer ones. The Ridisc Xtreme are ok, but by no means are they fantastic. If your looking for a cheap disc then have a look on ... Read review

Advantages: Re-Writable CD, 74min record time, 650MB storage
Disadvantages: Small storage compared to Re-Writable DVD's

The Imation CD-RW 650 MB 24x 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 ...
...standard CD-R/RW drives as well as Multi-read CD-R/CD-ROM, DVD-ROM and rewritable DVD drives.

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: they hardly work !

Dont waste your cash on these discs. They are called Tuffdisc, I think it is more like tough-titty when you waste them recording stuff onto them ! Let me explain. So far I have had little joy with these discs, using them on 3 dvd-burners, and the movies being played in 2 stand alone dvd players, also, they are pretty useless for holding operating systems that will boot PCs. Linux and BSD will install from them, slowly, but Windows, (XP and VIsta) ...
...when you are playing them in a stand alone player, I dont know if this has any bearing on anything though. The only thing I have used them successfully with, is archiving. They are pretty resilient that way. I will use them for backing up my clients computers, but for day-to-day use, get something else. ... Read review

Advantages: For high quality and professional use
Disadvantages: Price might not be for everyone

Verbatim is possibly one of the top Recordable and Portable media suppliers that i've ever come accross. Although some products mas seem a little pricey I can pretty much tell you that it's probably worth it, of course that will depend on what you are using the dvd for. Verbatim disks are very high quality so i wouldnt suggest that you buy this simply for storing your extra files, music or videos. They are more expensive than the rest for a reason. ...
...professionals in industries that require DVD use, such as music composers and photographers. If you are planing to buy this product then i suggest that you think carefully what it's going to be used for. The last thing you want to do is waste money on something that can be accomplished with cheaper DVD's. So... to summarise my point: * Buy this high quality product for use with important tasks. things like making videos or birthdays or weddings ... Read review

Advantages: 800mb
Disadvantages: Only works on new drives, cases are weak

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 built a new Desktop computer, with a brand new drive, suddenly it works with this new drive! Well, after installing the latest drivers anyway... So, if you have got a very new drive, as in a drive which ... Read review
