Verbatim is a name I remember way back to the times of the 5.25" floppy disk - yes I'm showing my age I know. I bought a pack of 10 of these when I was at school and they stood up to a lot of use and abuse. Those even older than myself may even remember Verbatim as a company, even before I was born - in fact they go back as far as 1969. Many years later, I find myself with the same brand, only this time CDR media, each disk with a storage capacity of more than 1500 times those original floppies.
I'll spare you the rest of my trip down memory lane, and get straight to the point, which is of course to tell you about the Verbatim CDR media I've got here - Verbatim DataLifePlus (Fast Dry Printable) 700Mb CDR.
There are many different products in the range, catering for differing needs of data storage. I am choosing to use 700Mb CDR 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 shrink-wrapped in plastic, and those useful easy open tags are included - which sometimes make it easier to break into them - except when you are in a hurry. The boxes themselves seem to be sturdy enough, not cheap and easily breakable.
As well as being a quality CDR, the Verbatim DataLifePlus product I'm using has a white printable surface. After a recent acquistion of an Epson R300 printer, capable of direct CD/DVD printing, I was longing to try this out. Epson actually recommend this product for use with the R300, so I was hoping for trouble free operation. Glad to say, they work beautifully together - great colour reproduction on the disk, sharp images, no smearing, smudging or blurring - perfectly aligned, what more could I ask for?
I've been using these for a while, and even though I've expected the odd one to fail, so far the reliability rate has been 100%. Time will tell of course as to what problems I'll have, but I'm confident that with the Verbatim brand, and it's own "Super Azo" recording dye technology, they'll last longer than I will. This technology offers protection against UV light, although I'd still recommend you don't leave them in the back of a car in summer. I'd also not recommend trying to scratch them, even though the coating on each disk supposedly offers good resistancy. Verbatim actually give each disk a lifetime warranty, and quote 100 years archival life - that's good enough for me.
The re-order code for this particular product is 43325 - and it's particular recommended for use with the Epson R300 printer. Price for a box of 10 is between £4 - £6 inc VAT, available from Dabs or ask at your favourite computer shop. Whilst you may say this isn't cheap, what price do you put on your data?

Word for word Review ofVerbatim CD-R 700 MB 52xby

Advantages: Reliable Disadvantages: slightly more expensive than other brands
...I chose the 10 pack Verbatim CD-R 700Mb, which came in at around £5 on Amazon, not bad that's only 50p a disc. I know you can get cheaper versions, but in the past I've ended up throwing more of those type away than I have actually been able to get anything onto.
As many of you will know the word Verbatim means word for word or exact, so the name itself exudes a certain amount of authority and confidence. The CD's come in clear cases which although ... ...the CD's. They are 52X so the writing to them is fast if your CD recorder is up to the task, obviously you are not going to get 52X if you recorder max's out at 24X. I have made the few CD's that I intended and had absolutely no problems at all in their creation or indeed in subsequent playing on any equipment, so the outlay of a little extra was well worth it. A good buy from a very respectable supplier. ...
