Advantages: Reputable and reliable
Disadvantages: Bad colour

...I paid about £20 from Adsa for the pack of 100 TDK DVD-R's (4.7Gb, 16 x speed), which I consider to be great value for a reliable, reputable make such as TDK. I have used about half of the discs so far, mainly for films but also for backing up data, photos etc, from the PC. I have not encountered a single faulty disc, as of yet. They seem very reliable, and have a write speed of upto 16 x, although I have not been able to test this as my DVD writer only writes at a maximum 4 x. My only grumble with the discs is the colour. They are printed a metallic blue colour, with a pattern and the TDK logo on. While this is very nice to look at, it isn't very good for writing on with a black marker. Space (to write on the disc, not capacity) is limited because of this.... Read review

Advantages: Record over and over again, high quality, Compact
Disadvantages: 2 play in video you need a dv casstee convertor

...Mini DV tapes are great... And the best thing is you can record over them as many times as you like over and over again and you still get a high quality picture. Well what about my experience: Having brought a DV Camcorder I wanted to buy DV Tapes.. So rather than just buying any DV Tape I started to do my research like I normally do when I buy any of my products. I searched online (Googling IT) for DV Tapes that where of a high quality and which had a perfect playback quality. While searching over the net I came across a few DV Tape makes such as Fuji, DVC, Sony, Maxell & TDK Having read reviews about the products like I normally do, I decided to go down to my local Argos store and buy TDK DVM-60 MiniDV Tapes for £7.99. I was expecting to buy just 1 for that price but I got 2 for that price. What a bargin! Now to my... Read review

Advantages: Last a long time
Disadvantages: Only 4 Colours

...in 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...

Advantages: Make CD's with the music you want
Disadvantages: Only an hour and 20mins of music

...When purchasing my new laptop, which was years ago now, there was one important feature to me and that was that it had to be able to write to CD's because if there's one hobby I have, and one thing I love, it's music. Whilst we are in an age of MP3's where CD's don't really matter when CD's do come into play is at parties (can't have everyone crowded around one iPod) and also in cars. Now there's a lot of pressure when deciding what to put on a CD for my car, but my dash compartment is slowly starting to make a collection. And what brand are these CD's? Well TDK CD-R80 of course! There's no brand I ever used, and at this very moment I don't think there's any need to change brand. Whilst the picture beside this review shows a case, I actually purchased about 50 of these CD's in one of those plastic see through cases where all the CD... Read review

Advantages: Looks great
Disadvantages: Looks too good for the rest of my stuff

...with the drive. The software supports Burn-Proof technology in addition to software buffering so you always have a perfect copy and no coasters. A copy of InCD is also included which allows you to use a CD-RW like a very large floppy disk. There is also a copy of TDK Digital Mixmaster, which allows you to use your computer like a digital jukebox. This bit of software also allows you to copy your CD's in double quick time which is great and simple to use. The whole set-up also allows you to multi-task which means the end of having to wait for your CD to burn before starting some work or surfing the web, you can do both at once. For £50 this little diamond is perfect for anyone out there who wants to burn a CD in under 5 min or music CD in under 4 and not require a top of the range speed machine. With both style and speed TDK have a really great... Read review

Advantages: They work, again and again and again.... cool designs/colours
Disadvantages: The writing/logos are a bit obtrusive.

...buffer under-runs and although almost impossible to tell, gives less errors. AMMENDMENTS!!! WHERE TO BUY: •JUNGLE.COM -I previously recomended Jungle.com -their service is very good, quite well priced, but the web site is slow and they're not the cheapest any more now they've started charging for delivery! About £8 for pack of 10 + delivery •BUY.COM -Go to www.Buy.com, they sell 25 pack TDK's for £11!!!! Only 2 minor probs: 1. They don't have jewel cases, but I keep all my CD's in folders anyway. 2. Unfortunately delivery is expensive at nearly £5 a go -but if you spend over £50 you get it free, (that is 125 CD's though!!!) Their service has been (so far) quick, efficient, and generally impressive, although the site's a little slow. If you get the introductory offer (I got one through Bluecarrots.com -see another op...

Advantages: Very good brand
Disadvantages: none at the moment

...so it's not too bad. Again, since this is RW, you can rewrite, obviously, but some other makes don't deliver what the spec says, however TDK is very truthful. The price of these aren't expensive either. It's around 20 pounds for 25 DVDS and 25 pounds for 50 DVDs, however you can get it far cheaper if you get it from Ebay. In conclusion, TDK makes the top-notch DVD-/+R, and last thing, burning data, choose DVD-R and burning movies/home videos, choose DVD+R.... Read review

Advantages: Good audio quality, reliable
Disadvantages: Some blanks don't play properly, dodgy at higher speeds

...TDK cd-r blanks seem to have become the yardstick by which all other blank cd-r media are measured but coming from a pure audio quality or sound-engineering point of view they are not the best available. While TDK blanks are generally fine for running off copies of commercial audio cd's i have found that if you try to write audio to them at anyhing over X2 speed then any really low end bass frequencies will start to go a bit wooly or wobbly (for want of a better word). Even at the lowest speeds you will also find that you get a very slight brittleness and phasing appearing in the top end that can be disconcerting if you know the sound of the cd you are copying really well. These effect's are very slight and you probably wouldn't notice them unless you are specifically listening for it but personally i would not put much faith... Read review

Advantages: Great satisfaction for any hip hop fan
Disadvantages: Not quite as good as his first album "Get Rich Or Die Trying"

...THE MASSACRE by 50 CENT is "fiddys" 2nd official album folowing up from "Get Rich Or Die Trying". This album is recommended for any hip hop fan, 50 Cents commercial beats prove to be very catchy and after a couple of
