Just bought a 100pack of TDK cdr's from buy.com HOW ARE THEY?

Just bought a 100pack of TDK cdr's from buy.com these:
how are they?
CDR RECORDER MEDIA 650MB 74MIN SILVER BRANDED 100PK CAKEBOX
Mfg part#: CD-R74MGBCB100T
 
Do a search as the topic of TDK media awhile back as this has been covered in detail.

In short, it depends what you bought. If it says "Certified Plus" then you're rockin' as they are real TDK media made in Georgia. If it says "100% Certified" then it's made by RITEK which makes scary stuff.

However, a TDK rep commented about TDK subcontracting RITEK of Taiwan to make their CDRs to a much higher quality of what they were accustomed to making, so to speak. If so then they are probably okay.

It really only matters to you. You got a good deal money wise. As long as you have a decent burner and software you should burn fine. If the data stays true and uncorrupted over time and you have compatibility with every reader you come across then you are in good shape.

Tip: download one of the many cd identifier programs over at www.cdmediaworld.com
to see who makes your TDK's.

Good luck.
 
I didn't realize there was so much distinction between the differenet tdk cds. I find tdk cds to be pretty good and reliable.
 
IMO, i'd rather try out RITEK-made TDK's than some of that cheap crapola out there that you can see through, for goodness sakes. I usually stick to Kodak, Mitsui and other good stuff when I can find it cheap.
 
IMO, TDK are one of the best, I got a 25pk a while back and none of them failed on me, all worked at 8x
 
I've got a 50 Spindle of 12x TDK. Ever since I burned a few TDK CDRs, They are my fav. They are really good quality, never had any burning problems with them, and best of all, the tops of tem are pretty blank, leaving lots of room to label your CDs without a bunch of gay ads or labels.

Great CDRs IMHO.
