Traxdata CDRW 2260 Pro

Advantages: Work fine for me
Disadvantages: Might not for you

...writer and although I admit I had two duds these were due to me thinking it was fine to set a CD writing and then start a game of Quake 3. Once I realised it was best to leave the PC alone I increased the success rate to almost 100%. I have used both 74 and 80 minute CD-R's and CD-RW's and found them all to be good. I have used them for just about everything possible (well, data and audio...what else is there??) and they have performed as well as any other brand of CD I have used. Traxdata CD-R's have always worked well in audio CD players, unlike some other brands, although on some makes on CD players it takes a little longer than normal to read the CD. I would also like to stress that this is all just what has happened to me. Lots of people hate Traxdata so it's unlikely that it's all just a coincidence. More likely is that for some... Read review

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Have to write 640Mb of data or you waste lots of CD space

...this again and i found the same thing happening. The only way round it was to write a full CDs worth of files, ie 640Mb of data all in one go. Otherwise i would waste so much space. I do agree now that Traxdata ain't avery good make for CDRs, in my opinion they don't get very far. They are not bad, i can still use them but it's very annoying that you can't just write a few files and leave the session open then write to it again another day. Instead i have to do it ll in one go. For all those thinknig that it may be my CDRW drive then you think wrong, i luckily have a few spare blank CDRs from my last make (Memorex), i tried to do the same thing and it works with these so i don't know why Traxdata CDs does what it does. For those buying traxdata CDRs think gain. this may happen to you. Just rememberthat quality things aren't cheap.... Read review

Advantages: Good capacity and quality for a good price
Disadvantages: None so far

...After getting hold of my first CD Writer I was immediately on the look out for suitable CD-RW and CD-R CDs to play with. When wandering around our local Staples I was real chuffed to find 10 of these CDs for £4.69. Worth a go I thought for that much... They have a 74 minute (or 650MB) capacity and can hold music, data, photos and video footage. The CDs all come with their own case and inset with room to write plenty of stuff on. You can of course use various kits to invent your own labels and CD designs. I have had no problem recording onto these. They play very nicely in both my CD ROMs. Haven't ventured onto the CD player in the Hi-Fi yet but I will update this when I have :) So - for the dosh I am impressed. You get 10 quality CDs for around 49p each which can't be bad. Check out Staples. The one I visited was the Walsall branch... Read review
