Memorex the best.

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

...With writeable CD's offering so much choice in today's market, you can afford to be a bit choosy when buying the media you want. Nearly every company that once offered audio tapes now offers a range of recordable CD's. However, it does not stop there. Most technology companies that make Computer hardware have taken it on themselves to offer recordable CD's too. But they are all different standards with some more suitable to certain tasks than others. One of the better writeable CD manufacturers on the market today are Memorex. Let me tell you about Memorex CD's. Firstly, they offer an entire range of recordable media. First off are its CD-R's which are "one shot wonders". This means they can be recorded on once only. If it goes wrong during the recording process, the Disc is lost. Next up are their CD-RW which are...

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...

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...

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...

The Need For Speed

Advantages: Cheap & Very Reliable, Fast Speed
Disadvantages: None

...I have used around 400 + of these particular CD-R's now and find them one of the most economical and reliable CD-R disc available. The Company Memorex has been going for a number of years. I even remember them as a kid making good old fashioned tapes. They are a mid range buyer level more than anything else. The Discs are suitable for anyone who wants a permanent media to store data on. -R means write once allowing you to only write the information to the disc once. Although some software programs support multi session allowing you to add data to the disc. I use a lot of CD-R discs. So I needed a disc I could rely on to store my data safely, to have good read/write ability with multiple burners and players and be light on my pocket. I also burn alot so the quicker the disc the better. I think I have definitely found this...

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...

Burn baby burn !!!

Advantages: Good, cheap
Disadvantages: Nothing

...Hello, dear Ciao community According to some reports here on the platform and after some collected experience I would like to dare me to the technical category today. Since I have a burner like many others also and this is always hungry of course I wouldn't like I feed it to withhold you with what. ? buy ? I was recently market in the saturn again and looked for supplies for my little burner since I always use spare of Memorex and it was convinced for its products I got rich also quite fast. This was exactly a 50s spindle of Memorex with 700 MB of brutes at a humane price that for what I looked and also needed, don't reach in a considered way and off to the register. ? the spindle ? This spindle has the form and height of a brute approximately and is completely made of plastic. The name of the manufacturer and also...

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...

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...
