which makes the best 80min cdrw media PNY, memorex or TDK, do you know any other 80min cdrw media brands that's better?

[RayEarth]

I can only find memorex, pny and tdk 80min cdrw, i can't find any imation or maxell 80min cdrw, only cdr, anyone know a good place to buy maxell or imation 80min cdrw or brands better than the ones i have listed?

walmart sells 50 pack of maxell 80 min's for 18 bucks. i buy them all the time

I use verbatim and they work just fine...

50 pack of 80 min cd's. Come in colored cases too.

 

[RayEarth]

but are they 80min cdr or 80min cdrw? i can find lots of 80mins cdr but even on maxell, verbatim or imation websites, have no mention of 80min CDRW only CD-R, that's why i'm wondering if any other companies besides the ones i listed make 80min CD-rewritables.

PnY's rock!

Look for Fujis, or Yamaha. Most all CDR media will work with the newer burners... but not all will last. Are you just interested in CDR"W"?... or CDR's?

 

[Paulson]

Damn, cdrw, I didn't even know they had them...

 

[snidy]

I use TDK and have had no problems.

I'm looking for 80min "cdrw" it seems only pny, memorex and tdk makes them, I know i won't get memorex again, their cdr & cdrw work well in memorex drives but in my aopen drive, they stink, and tdk seems to be high quality by cd copy worlds words and I guess PNY is 2nd place.

Are all these CDRW media 4x or are any of them 10x ??? I have a Plex 161040 and cannot find a single 10x CDRW disk locally.

Has anybody got any idea of cost and availability of 10x CDRW media ??

CompUSA sells thier branded 80min 1-4x CDrws, they work fine for me. Imation and Memorex have 4-10x (high speed) 650meg CDrws around here (SoCal).

subman,

My local Fry's (Oregon) has 10x Yamaha CD-RW at $10/3 and 10x Imation at $12/5. Both are 650MB discs.

Mirror Media over here in the UK is going nuts. Everyone is raving about them. I bought 100 of them but have not tried them yet. There 80Min/700MB A-Grade and capable of recording up to 12x.

It would be nice to find a review of them if it exists anywhere.



[edit]

Sorry CDRW. I miss read the Post. These are CDR only. :frown:

 

[RayEarth]

all the 80min cdrw i found are only 4x rewrite, i haven't seen any 10x 80min cdrw that are name brand, only some generic ones from other posts, but I'd rather use a TDK at 4x than some generic 80min cdrw that claims it can do 10x.

I have used TDK's for a couple of years now and never had any problems. I have also used the 3 color Maxells, burned a couple of coasters but they weren't that bad. I really think alot of it has to do with what CD-RW you are using. Both of my CD-RW's are HP's. The first one was a 4x2x24 and the one i currently have is a 10x4x32. I, knock on wood, haven't burned a coaster with the new drive and rarely did with the older drive but when I did it was never with the TDK's.

I use CDRWs extensively as backup media for my computer as well as other peoples computers. I run Ghost on computers and backup the files created onto CDRWs. I have over 60 CDRW disks mostly HP brand. I have used these disks for upto 2 years without a single problem - so far. I find it a pain to burn 8 disks at a time at 4x speed. It takes forever at 4x.

It would be a pleasure to do all these burns in 7 minutes on a 10x disk instead of the 20 mins it takes 4x disks. I remember I did a 6 disk burn at 4x of a computer and it turned out that I had done the D drive instead of the C
