Imation vs Ricoh Platinum cd-r's?

[joburnet]

Which cd-r's are better? The imations found here or the Ricoh found here? Both are about $30 shipped for a 100pk. Thanks.

I was just about to buy the Ricoh Platinums from Compgeeks. They come with sleeves, and their price is pretty good. $26.00 if you buy 4 x 25 packs.

Paper sleeves so no biggie but i'd like to find out the quality of the two brands. Thanks for the input though.

 

[joburnet]

anyone else?

I can't comment on the Ricoh's but I've had nothing but good cd's in all the Imation's I bought. I usually buy Imation always.

both are good. Can't go wrong with either.

But personally, since I have a ricoh drive, I'd get the ricoh's. Otherwise I'd have no bias.

I use TDK discs for everything. I have yet to find something that doesn't recognize them. I've used 100s of them.

Otherwise, I've encountered a lot of Imations as well and never had a problem.

 

[joburnet]

Thanks but i try to stay away from rebates cause i've had a lot of them not turn out.

Go with Imation - I have always used them and I love them. Burned around 500+ CDs so far - no problem with them.

I'd be willing to vote for the Ricoh platinum's.
The regular Ricoh's work rock solid for me, in EVERY SINGLE cdrom/cd player/dvd drive/dvd player I could find.
Absolutely not 1 ounce of trouble.
Only bad burns were my old burners fault.

I order 5oo richo gold at computergeeks two month ago. it rate 8x but it can burn perfectly at 12 speed in my teac 12x10 x32 with no problem

Some Imations are made by Ricoh:

Made in USA: Ricoh, phalatocyanine, dull wide tape on box lid, box a lighter green than usual.

Made in Japan: Taiyo Yuden, cyanine, shiney wide tape on box

Made in Taiwan: CMC Magnetics (cyanine) or Mitsubishi Chemical, narrow wide tape on box

Boxes of 5 can be from any country, but the 10-packs are USA or Taiwan.

What about the 100pk that's at best buy? I guess you can't go wrong, they all look pretty good from what i've read.
