CompUSA cd-rw 50 spindle for $30

[gummiely]

Hi all. I'm new at this, so please go easy on me. Anyway, i stopped into compusa today, and they had 50 spindles of compusa brand cd-rw's for $30. However, they're only 4x write and 2x rw. =| Hot deal or not?

No, not really a hot deal. I just picked up a 50-spindle of 700meg 8x Imation for $19.95 from Outpost.com (after rebate of course) with free shiping.

Read thru some of the older topics in the forum, that'll give you a good idea of what folks here consider a "hot deal".

These are RW's, so decent deal.

 

[TheBigZ]

Ack you're right... perhaps I'M the one that should do some reading

Sorry for the miscue

for those of you who are interested the SKU for the 50 CDRWs is 267735
we just got a box today.....also make note that there are two different boxes with this SKU, one of them is considerably bigger because it has a spindle, the smaller one apparently just has 50 cdrws....have fun

I've been using the CompUSA branded cdrw's for over 7 months's and no problems yet. I got 20 for 20$. They came in their own little case. Not a bad deal.

Just a note if it is a 2x RW it will only write at 2x and no faster.

From what I can tell the Write speed must be coded on the disc.

If anyone knows how to force a 2x RW to write at 4x please tell me because I still have 30RW's and RW at 2x is just sucky

 

[gummiely]

Sorry for the late update, but anyhow... these 2x rw's are actually writing at 4x for me. I have an HP8250i, btw. Cheers!
