I recently managed to fill up my 80GB Hard drive with all sorts of rubbish and needed some CD's to store my information on. Usually I would buy them from Tesco's, but as I was In a hurry I popped into my local computer retailer (Northbridge Computers in Lowestoft) to see what he had available. All he had on this occassion was TDK CD-R80 discs. There was single CD's in cases, boxs of ten in cases and spindles of twenty-five and one hundred. I plummeted for the spindle of twenty-five as I wasn't rich enough at the time to buy the big fat one hundred spindle.
***Product*** The disc's themselves are light blue with a silver swirl on it. TDK CD-R80 is clearly stamped on it. There is plenty of room to write on them and they can store up to 700MB of data or 80 minutes recording time. They are ideal for backing up files, pictures, photos, video, music and data. Also they will burn at up 52X speed.
***Smell***
The CD's upon opening still have that sterile factory smell about them.
***Quality*** I have used five of these discs already, all with success. The music that I added has was of good quality My CD-RW has no problem picking them up and nor does my stereo.
***Problems***
The one problem that I find with CD-R's on a spindle is that they scratch easily whilst still on the spindle. TDK CD-R80 are no different. You should take extreme care when taking them off, ensuring that you do not twist them or put fingerprints on them whilst lifting them out.
***Precautions*** As with all CD's there are certain precautions that must be upheld. These are do not expose to high humidity, do not touch writing surface with your fingers, avoid dust, use a proper CD marker pen, do not spill your drink on them, keep out of sunlight, store at the right temperature and keep away from magnets and magnetic devices.
***Price***
These CD's cost me £5 on the button.
***Useful Addresses***
TDK Recording Media Europe S.A Z.I. Bommelscheuer, L-4902 Bascharage
www.tdk-europe.com
***Conclusion***
Well what can I say, they are just as good as the tesco disc's, if not slightly better. They are easy to use, simply put them in the recorder then use your desired software to put the information on them. They are the same price as my usual discs and I would certainly recommend them to a potential buyer.
