what CDRW's are good?

[Soccerman]

heh I'd like to know which CDRW's are good. I've seen many posts about CD-R's, but none about CDRW's. IMHO, CD-R's are mostly very good for nearly everything. only some don't work in bad CD players.

So, I'd like you guys to post your experiances with CDRW disks, in drives other then your CDRW drive..

I was always under the impression that Plextor made good writers, but i guess i'm wrong now.

 

[Soccerman]

heh I was talking about the CDRW MEDIA! not the drives.. sorry bout the misunderstanding.

so does anyone have any input there?

I think ACER CDRW Discs are good..

 

[Howard]

I think Verbatim made some...

 

[Soccerman]

heh ok I know most of the companies that make CDRW discs, I'm asking which ones you have had experiance with, and how good they were.

Best info site for CDR and CDRW recorders and MEDIA:
http://www.cdmediaworld.com/
They show that brand doesn't matter, since every manufacturer uses different factories for different lines of their product.
Factories and the type of DYE determine the Quality of a blank.
There are close to 100 brands of disks, but less than a dozen factories, of which only 4 or 5 produce quality product.
Look for "CD-R Quality" article link towards bottom on the left.

I have used TDK's without a problem. If you have lots of money, I have heard Kodak's are the best.

Yamaha x10 CDRW are excellent (they are the only one available at this speed).

Surprisingly, the CompUSA brand of x4 CDRW are very nice too, and inexpensive. I used a lot of them in the past year, never had any trouble.

with CDR's so cheap now I haven't used CDRW's in forever

Actually Ricoh was the first to make CD-RW capable of 10x re-writes. It's the same CD-RW media included with Plextors new 12/10/32.

I used to use Verbatim but recently I have been having problems with them. 1 disc just went bad. I can't write beyond 50% without error. I have also found that some drives can not read them while they can read some Shark (generic) ones I have. I am going back to Maxell.

"CD-R Quality" doesn't that mean CDR, and not CDRW? I'm not concerned with CDR, becuase I already have a great brand for CDRs.

ok, you're probably right that the BRAND doesn't mean anything, but it's easy to identify the BRAND then the die type. so yeah, tell me the BRAND name and type you like the best.

why do you not like Acers? I've seen 2 acers 4x CDRW discs work fine on normal CDROM's, and have seen 3 Memorex 4x CDRW's not even work properly on the CDRW drive they were burnt on..

can you even BUY Acer CDRW's?

ok so far people have said TDK's, Kodaks, Yamaha x10s.

remember people CDRW's.. try to confirm quality on older CDROM's or CD players even..
