Poll: Does anybody use ReWrite, with their burners?

[Wingznut]

I don't.

 

[AU Tiger]

Nor do I, thats why I skipped the rewrite functionality on my latest burner.

 

[steelthorn]

I do!

 

[prontospyder]

No...but I may need it someday for backups or something.

 

[Niege]

Nope. Media too expensive, no perceived need.

 

[randypj]

Yes because,
1. They are there
2. CompScrewUSA = (50) 4X $10
3. Plex burns anything
4. I still only do DAO on 'em
5. I never get around to erasing them
6. I could live without 'em

[Shagga]

Nope, not me. Re-writing at 2x sux

 

[obeseotron]

I did once. I've buned ~1200 CDRs and 1 CDRW.

 

[Mark R]

I use it regularly for backing up my work, e-mail, etc.

Have a seperate RW for each - write incrementally in multisession mode, and when they fill up, just erase and start again.

If you do daily backups, then using RWs soon saves you discs.

 

[fkloster]

Nope.

 

[AMB]

That is what I mainly use,

 

[Noriaki]

Yes I use many CDRWs.
At least 1 in ever 10, probably more like 1 in 7 or 8, discs I burn is a CDRW.

 

[TechMaster]

It was well over a month since I got my Plextor 8x4x32 - and I haven't burned a single CD-R - only use CD-RW - cheaper in the long run....

 

[Floyd]

Nope, never. I've burned around 500CD's but not the first CD-RW. Not worth the time and effort when regular CD-R's are ten cents a piece. If I found a great deal on CD-RW's (i.e. nearly free), I would probably use them like Randy and never erase them.

Best regards,
Floyd

 

[4824guy]

Yes I use them

I use it to back up my c:image that I use Drive Image for, incase I want to restore my HD.

I also use it for tempor drivers, patches, pictures, etc. Then when i have alot of those i want to make permant, I will copy it all over to a cdr disk.

 

[Gatsby]

Never saw the need to waste my money on cdrw

I use the rewriting feature when I know that I have to upgrade drivers at someone's house and don't want to download it there (cable at home, modem there ). I don't see the need to waste CD-Rs for that type of stuff. But, for everything else I just use CD-Rs because they are very cheap and more compatible

 

[andri]

I use. CDRW media is rather cheap nowadays, so often I prefer CDRW instead of CDR.

 

[Derek@AGN]

Not worth the time...

 

[prodigy]

Nope

 

[NaughtyusMaximus]

On my (old) HP burner, I would use RW all the time. If I was backing up a retail CD, there was no garantee that the burn would be successful. By using RW media, I could find out first without wasting a CD.

The burner broke though, so I guess that turns my answer to a firm and solid NO.

 

[SUOrangeman]

I archive software downloads and an occasional Ghost image to CDRW. Oh yeah, Linux Mandrake beta ISOs.

[Xenon14]

Have my Ricoh Mp7040 (20x,4x,4x) @ 7060 mode (24x,6x,4x) for about a year now. I've yet to use my RW feature, and I have not yet been able to burn at 6x, even w/ CD's that support up to 8x. Anyone got an idea why it won't burt at 6x?

 

[Imported]

I use it, but only for backing up.

 

[MWink]

I use RW all the time. I hardly ever use R.
