Verbatim CD-R 700 MB 16x

Advantages: Quality, Longevity
Disadvantages: Price!

...Iwent out and bought a pack of verbatim dvds' a few days ago. The first thing that i noticed just after my purchase of these dvds' is that my wallet felt rather empty at about £6 for each dvd :( I hoped that they could redeem themsleves with their renowned quality. Everyone i have asked has reccomended verbatim dvds', and i think they are right. They are very good quality, and should last a lifetime of abuse. If you are looking to put some of your data or a movie on to dvd, then you will want it to be good quality, so why skimp on the price? You would just have to use more of the cheaper branded dvds' because they might fail writing or might peel after a while, so you may as well go the whole hog and get the verbatim ones, they are quite expensive, but they are VERY good quality, and as i said will last oyu a lifetime....

Advantages: So far they're 100% problem-free
Disadvantages: Never say never with CD-Rs

...data other than music are best used for burning audio onto and it is this format that is used widely in the copying and burning of MP3s onto listenable CDs. WHAT DOES A CD-R NEED TO BE ABLE TO WORK? Three things. 1. A computer. 2. A rewritable drive, not just your bog standard CD-ROM drive. 3. Burning software.

There are two types of CD-R size. A 650 and a 700. These numbers correspond to the number of megabytes of space available. As a general rule, for music burners, a 650 will hold 74 minutes of music whilst a 700 will hold 80 minutes of music. In this instance, it's the lesser of the options but what six minutes (or one...

...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
