Imation blank CDR's

Advantages: Their cheapness
Disadvantages: None I have found

...I wanted a pack of cdr's that would burn easily enough without having to dump a load of them in the process. I actually stumbled on these quite by accident, after my usual TDK brand was out of stock. I thought I would give them a try, and I am glad I did, because they burn at a reasonable speed, and have caused me no problems with either the recording of, or the retrieval of data so far, and I have used a few 50 packs now. In fact I can't recall having to throw any away that wasn't my own mistake. Imation are very realistic price at around £15 for a spindle pack of 50, or 100 for £30. As there is no saving on the 100 pack, I generally buy 50 at a time. The pack they come in, is excellent for their storage too, with a spindle to keep them on and a nice twist, clear lid that keeps the discs dust and grime free until you need them...

Review of Imation Corp. CD-R 80 min

Another Day, Another CD-R

Advantages: Flawless, huge capacity
Disadvantages: None thus far

...I'm a bit confused. The picture on Ciao shows the CDR74, 650MB of this product but the description is that of the 700MB, CDR80 version. For the purpose of this review I'll go with Ciao's description - which is lucky because that's the one I own! I've recently completed a TDK CD-R review but when I saw that this alternative TDK product was listed on Ciao, I felt compelled to review this too. I know, I need to get out more, but my wife and daughter are at Ikea and my son is in his room playing with his Thomas The Tank Engine tracks and trucks, so what the hell? Anyway, I'm working on my bedroom tan....... The ins and outs of CD-Rs appears in my previous review so I won't bore you with all that again. I'll just review the product this time. PRODUCT SPEC "TDK Certified Plus 700MB/80-minute write-once CD-Rs offer high...

What to write on a cd-r?

Advantages: Cheap, Comes wrapped and with cases, and er... nice colour discs
Disadvantages: None really

...So about 2 years ago I popped into the local Asda, and saw these reduced to £1, so I thought I would get them as you can't go wrong for £1. And I didn't go wrong, they are really good. Now I buy them quite regularly. I mainly use CD-R's for music, and these give really good sound quality on my cd player. Reliability... I have had lots of CD-R discs that have come up with errors such as 'Disk Error' and others during the burning process, but the times that I have used these (which is a lot), what I can remember I haven't had that happen once. With a 48x speed the process is really quick, even burning a CD with the full 80 minutes taken up. Use? I use CD-R's mainly for music CDs and VCDs but you can use it for all sorts, e.g. Data, Photos, Copying Games (although that's illegal). These can only be used once, which means you can...

The only CDR's I use

Advantages: Reliable
Disadvantages: More expensive

...I have been burning Cd's for a good number of years now. I use CDr's for backing up data, storing photo's and of course music (but not pirated obviously). What I like about the Verbatim disks is their reliability, I rarley have to throw away a CD because it has failed to write properley from my CD drive. This I feel is worth Paying the expense for. It works out at around 50p per disk and for this you have a jewel case included which is handy as you can easily print out labels using the pelethoria of software available for doing so or you can write them out the old fasioned way. The CD itself has a very professional embossed pattern on the non-writable side, which is handy as with some of the cheap CD's that you buy in spools of 25 you have to closley inspect the sided to work out which is which. I have also found that...

Review of Verbatim CD-R 700 MB 40x

The Best Brand CD-R So Far

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

...For my money, TDK have a long and respectable tradition in the production of blank media. In the 80's I'd tape the top 40 rundown on Radio One with crazy old Bruno Brookes using one of their many blank audio tape products. Around the same time I'd tape my favourite programmes (Gary Shandling, The Tube and Grange Hill) using a TDK blank video cassette. And now, as we undergo burn and rip mania, I've started using their products for my MP3 collections too. Loyal? Well, yes. When the day comes that TDK let me down, I'm off to find a new brand. But in the meantime, if it ain't broke...... WHAT IS A CD-R? CD-R stands for compact disc recordable as opposed to rewritable (that's a CD-RW). The difference between the two formats is that you can use a CD-RW over and over again, but a CD-R only once. CD-R, whilst capable of storing...

Searching For Reliable CDR's? Look No Further

Advantages: Blank Cd's, On A Spindle, Diffrent Colour Scheme, Low Cost
Disadvantages: No Jewel Cases,

...Cdr?s are so abundant now-a-day?s. Every time I go into a computer shop I see them covering a shelf in packs of 5, 10, 15,20?. well anything up to 250 I?ve seen. When I need cdr?s I tend to go for packs of 100, but these usually come in 74 mins (650Mb). But there comes a point in a persons life where 74min cdr?s aren?t enough and you need something special?something like a 80min (700Mb) cdr. Well fear not Memorex have the perfect cdr?s for the job. These are Cd-r's not Cd+r's. They come in packs of 25, which is great because most cdr?s I use only require the bulk purchased 74min cdr?s. They come on a spindle which reduced the price you have to pay because some other cdr?s that come in jewel cases cost that little bit more. The spindle doesn?t bother me because it allows me to separate the Memorex cdr?s from the other cdr?s. But...

Review of Memorex CD-R 700 MB 8x

A boring review on CD-R80 discs!!!

Advantages: se op
Disadvantages: see op

...I may be a bit out of my depth with this review! Sorry but I was bored! TDK CD-R Data discs are designed for computer-based data storage. You can store on them any kind of data - audio, video, multimedia, text files, etc. CD-R discs are write-once, meaning a CD-R can be fully recorded one time, but can't be erased or re-recorded. This can be highly annoying when something does go wrong. It has been known for a pile to be sat at th side of me, simply ready for the dustbin! TDK Recordable Compact Discs (CD-R), rather than the CD-RW which can be re-written. These discs promise to offer high-density storage and excellent recording. TDK Certified Reflex Ultra CD-R discs are said to be highly reliable, although you get a few errors and mis-writes. This is hard to say whether it is due to the discs or simply due to the location from...

TDK CD-R Marker Pen

Advantages: Last a long time
Disadvantages: Only 4 Colours

...the front of the packet or case to hold the pens securely in place ***The Pens*** As I have already mentioned there are four pens in a packet, Red, Green, Blue and Black. Each one has written in silver TDK CD-R PEN with the TDK logo clearly visible. On the end of each pen is a different coloured screw in cap to help identify the pen that you require. As well as this each pen has a different coloured lid and have a clip on them so that you can clip them to the inside of your jacket or shirt pocket. The nibs of these pens are really fine making it easy to write and recognise what you have written and there is no smudging at all ***Smell*** Like most permanent markers these pens give of toxic fumes that would make you high if you were to sit there and sniff them or use them in a small unaired room. ***Price*** Unfortunately I did...

Review of Imation Corp. CD-R 80 min

The standard quality blank cdr at great prices

Advantages: Play on any machine. Consistent quality
Disadvantages: cannot overburn as much as verbatims

...a little more expensive than many cheaper brands, but there are a few places to order them online, with discount offers. One such place is www.eurodead.net/cdr which lists vouchers for money off at Buy.com (uk) i have ordered 125 TDK's for £30 using the site mentioned above. If you need to decide on which blank discs to use, then you really cannot go wrong with TDK. Other brands I rate on a par with TDK (for audio use) are Verbatim, Sony and Kodak....
