Memorex the best.

Advantages: Good quality recording with excellent results
Disadvantages: None. Perhaps being a brand name makes them more expensive?

...than the Spindle but not as strong as the Standard. A nice pocket sized box to carry around. The last box is the Standard. Again boxes of 10. This is the type of CDs that you would by from a Music Shop. The same wide jewel cases and inlays. Handy if you are recreating albums for your Home music collection and want them to lok good on the shelf. Prices. Not too bad although much more expensive than unbranded discs. You are looking at £12 for a box of 10 standards Which is £1.20 a CD. A box of Slimlines is about £8-10 for 10 which is 80p-£1 a CD. A spindle will cost about £30 for 50 CD's which is 60p a CD. Compare this to a box of Cheap CDs at £7 for 10 (70p each) Cheap slimlines £5 for 10 (50p a CD) and a spindle of 50 for £20 (40p a CD) So you are looking at a markup of at least 50%. However, you will get more failures...

Review of Memorex CD-R 700 MB 8x

Memorex, oh yes

Advantages: Reliable
Disadvantages: I could have brought them cheaper elsewhere

...I was looking for some CDR's to back up my hard drive now its full of important work. I went down to my local computer shop where they stocked a variety of brands. Chocie is important but not when your in a hurry so I decided to pick a brand I was familar with. I have heard of Memorex before and have purchase VHS' from them before and they worked fine. Going on previous expirences of memorex products I thought they would be O.K. I brought the pack of CDR's for £19.99 for a pack of 25 which I thought was quite reasonable until I was told about online stores doing them for cheaper. The CDR's come on a spindel which is useful to keep the dust off them. Each CDR can hold 700mbs of data and 80 minutes of music. The spidel says that you can record up to 24x speed by my writer only does 4x. The spidel is made of black plastic and is pretty...

Review of Memorex CD-R 700 MB 8x

Memorex-cellent value 12x CD writer

Advantages: Cheap and comparable to the more expensive Plextor
Disadvantages: Easy CD is maybe not as good as WinOnCD and support is vague

...Are you fed up waiting for that dodgy copy of you mates cd to burn? Tired of watching how slow your pathetic, unbadged, 2 speed cdwriter spits out those copies? Or maybe you're lukcy, and have a 4 speed cdwriter. Maybe even an 8 speed one. Now that's not bad now, is it - what is that, around 10 mins a cd? That's not bad. Now consider what it would be like to burn cd's in around 6 minutes. Now I'm not trying to be like that serial murderer blokey out of There's Something About Mary - you know, the one who goes on about his idea for the "8 minute abs video", only to be told "What if someone comes out with '7 minute abs'?" - cos I know that you're going to tell me there are faster drive around, before you say it! ;-) The drive I am writing this opinion about is the Memorex TwelveMaxx 1032. It is a 12 speed CD writer drive, which is...

Review of Memorex CD-RW drive

Memorex Trimaxx200 DVD-CDRW

Advantages: Well price multi system
Disadvantages: Need a good graphic card with TV output

...Hi all, I would like to tell you about a fantastic product that really is Plug-&-Play, it's a CD Player - CD read/writer and a DVD Player all rolled into one. The Memorex Trimaxx 200 is a mid range product in the DVD/CD range and although the price may be fairly extravagant for some at a little over £200.00, I believe it was well worth it.The write capabilities are great at 6x because anything other than standard data just won't transfer safely above a 2x speed, and as for read i reckon 24x is more than fast enough for anything the software merchants throw at us, add to that the DVD playing side of things and you can't miss. I've watched quite a few films via this player with no problem whatsoever, and what's more i can watch the film s via my computer if i so desire. the only let down really was that i had to purchase a better...

Review of Memorex CD-362E

A&L Bank with 8.5% Interest!

Advantages: Sign up offers, Post Office banking, Good interest
Disadvantages: Offers don't last

...With the recent Credit Crunch, and now, the recession, interest rates have sky dived along with the Bank of England base rate. This is the sole reason for my opening an Alliance and Leicester Premier Direct Current account, which, at the time, was offering a nice and high 8.5% Gross interest on money in the current account but this is limited to the first £2,500 and will only last a year from the date of opening the account. Any amount above £2,500 only earns the usual 0.1% in line with many other banks and the rate will drop to right down to 1% below base rate after one year. They've dropped this offer down to 6.5% now but there's also an offering giving you £100 for switching over to them but with a much lower interest rate and you can potentially get another £50 if you open your account via a cashback site. Despite the £2...

Review of Alliance & Leicester Accounts

Burt's Bees Hand Salve. 8.5g travel size.

Advantages: Neat size for taking anywhere
Disadvantages: Smell not to everyone's liking

...Burt's Bees Hand Salve. 8.5g mini pocket / travel size. Burt's Bees strive to create 100% all natural products. A large majority of their range is 100% all natural. This hand balm is 99.05% How many products on the market can make that claim? This item was created to sooth dry, chapped hands and it does just that. The handy tin is quite flat so wil pop easily into handbag or purse. The balm-like salve melts instantly upon touch so it's easy to apply. Soaks into the skin quite quickly and doesn't make the hands feel greasy at all. I use it on both hands and feet with great results of smoother, better feeling skin which lasts quite a while (probably due to the beeswax creating a bit of a barrier). The smell is quite different. I think it's a bit like Marmite in respect of you either love it or hate it. Upon first whiff it is...

Review of Burt's Bees Hand Salve

Verbatim are no longer word-perfect

Advantages: Great reputatioon, large storage capacity
Disadvantages: Half of them didn't work

...I have been buying this brand for ages, and was always a big fan. They are more expensive than some other brands, like memorex, but I thought they were worth the extra. They were reliable, burned well (no coasters as people say) and you could always tell by looking at them that they were good. This is the first time I've bought this particular type - with two recording layers they are supposed to offer you almost double the capacity on a single side, so you can get almost 4 hours of DVD -enough for even the most enthusiastic home movie maker! Well that's true, and the one's I got to work, worked fine, but lots didn't work. One you could see when I took it out of the box it was all bubbled on the surface, so I didn't even try to burn that one. And of the pack of 10 I bought, 3 so far have not worked out of 7 I've used, not...

Review of Verbatim DVD-R DL 8.5 GB 4x

Memorex CDR 80. Simply the best.

Advantages: Good quality recording, low failure rate, cheap
Disadvantages: No boxes

.... Not healthy methinks. They also have a higher tendency to go wrong during recording. The Memorex CD's arent like this. They are solid in recording. My CD Writer writes all the way up to the dizzy heights of 8 speed and have only lost 2 Memorex CDs ever while recording in well over 100. This compares to a loss rate of nearly 50% on the PC world Discs. The Sony ones and even the Kodak ones were good but not as good as this. The rason they lost out were to the Third reason I choose Memorex. The Price. The price of a spindle of 50 Blank Memorex Disc of 80 minutes each is £19.99 Thats the same as the own brand PC World discs and they are only 74 minutes blanks. They dont come with boxes but what do you want for your money. If you dont know where to get them from , I can point you towards a good distributor...

Review of various - blank, recordable CD's

An excellent writer

Advantages: efficient, affordable
Disadvantages: slow re-write speed

...Memorex have a reputation for quality and this shines through with their CD writer / re-writer the 4420. Purchased just over a year ago as a solution to my back-up requirements and for the production of CD Catalogues for clients this piece of hardware has been invaluable. It is both fast and efficient. 32X4X2 are its speeds. The only drawback is that the re-write is a little slow and the disks take an age to format but once formatted shouldn't need doing again. I have not yet encountered any problems with reading or writing even on budget priced media. The drive stands up well to all other use. It plays audio CD's without problem and runs software, again without error. The product came bundled with Adaptec Easy CD Creator, Direct CD, MGI PhotoSuite and Take 2 (a back-up program). Priced at £129 when I bought it I think it is...

Review of Memorex - CDRW-4420

good quality dual layer and fast and printable

Advantages: good quality dual layer, fast writing, printable
Disadvantages: none

...I have bought this pack of 25 in a cake box from Amazon.co.uk a week ago for £13.28 (really and it still is the same price). On the face of it, it is truely a bargain. When I read the Amazon user reviews, there was a mixed reaction. It appeared that at certain period of time the media quality was quite bad and then it improved recently. So I dived in. Price comparison with other brands: Verbatim 8X DVD+R dual layer pack of 25 - £24.48 (almost twice the price but expected to be excellent quality) Memorex 8x DVD+R dual layer pack of 10 - £8.99 Aone 8x DVD+R dual layer pack of 10 - £5.20 (similar price per disc but I don't know this brand at all ! This could be third class material) Specification: DVD+R 8x dual layer Printable if you have a CD/DVD printer (inkjet or thermo). I haven't got one therefore freehand drawing. Brief...
