Verbatim CD-RW 700 MB 4x

Advantages: Cheap, easy to install and use.
Disadvantages: Not the fastest machine around.

...The Lucky Goldstar CD-RW is an internal CD. The one I own is roughly six months old and has been hard at work ever since it was purchased last year. I installed it myself and have encountered no problems since then. If you are confident with how your computer is put together then installation should be no problem. Simply fit into an empty slot, connect IDE and power cables and Windows should spot it straight away. As a simple CD it reads at 32x which is not particularly fast compared to many Cds but is perfectly adequate for most needs. The machine will also write at 8x and re-write at 4x. There are faster machines on the market but I have had no problems with this one and the price was good (under £100 then - much cheaper now). The machine came with all screws and cables required for its installation plus the necessary software to... Read review

...media, rated as 48x writing. This means that those of you with a reasonably new CD-writer can make use of it's fast write speed, myself included. It doesn't mean though, that those with an older writer, can't use them - you can of course, but at a slower speed than me (down to 1x speed). 700Mb is a lot of space. I can store around 300 5 megapixel digital files, or maybe 175 MP3's - and using my writer can do this in around 4 minutes. If you are using these disks for music storage to be played on a standard CD-player, you can fit 80 minutes, however Verbatim offer a MusicLife product, particularly suited to this type of storage. You are of course not limited to storing what I have mentioned, you can backup anything you want. These disks come with full jewel cases, packed in boxes of 10, but again other options are available. Each one is... 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 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... Read review
