Office Maxx CD-R/CD-RW

[Jeff H]

OK, this won't qualify as deal of the week, or even deal of the day, but it's still a deal. OM has Sony 12x CD-R's in a ten box, w/ jewel cases, for $7.99, and you get a free three pack of Sony CD-RW discs w/ the purchase.

Can you get it online? (sorry, I don't have a car and am too lazy)

VivYip: Yes, you can also order it online... it's item # BUND1202... The thing is when i ordered it a couple of days ago it was on backorder. I still don't know if I will get it.
So better hurry!

Are the CD-RW disks 12x too?

 

[VivYip]

Thank you goober!!! Also thank you thank you jeff, I plan to buy these asap ^_^

ComputerGeeks has a 50pack 12x CDR pack for $10.50 + shipping(which is reasonable usually).
Saw this on techbargins.

VivYip: your welcome
cmv: not sure... unfortunately... all the info the site gives is that they are 650mb/74min.. since they are free... i highly doubt that they are 12x.. but then again i could be wrong...

What is the shipping for online order?

 

[Ian@CDRlabs]

cmv I doubt it.. since high-speed RW media is not as cheap as the 4x and 2x crap they usually have on sale. Highest speed RW media I know of is 10x

Ian, any good prices on 10X or 8X CDRW's? I can't even find them locally. Also, do you have any experience "overclocking" 4X CDRW's? How about erasing 4X at a higher speed?

 

[Ian@CDRlabs]

To me its not worth overclocking the drives. I haven't even heard of anyone overclocking the RW part of a drive.. just the writing on those Ricohs last year. Personally I'd rather sell my old drive and buy a new one.

I usually get my stuff locally if there is a sale or at hypermicro.com or cdrexpress.com. I haven't ordered any high speed media online.. so I haven't found any place thats cheap.

I was joking--maybe you're referring to a firmware upgrade? What I meant was writing to media at over their rated speed. E.g., I've never had a problem writing 8X CDR's at 12X.
