adrenalinepcs Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 i go thru a lot of cd-r's and i want to know what kind are the best for archiving and important files. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobalt Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 (edited) Hard to say since most of them are made by the same manufacturer, if you dont have any problems writing, it's really up to your drive to read them. Once they're written without problems it's as good as the next What you should watch is quality of cd/rw not the same thing at all B) Edited January 20, 2004 by kobalt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Yuck Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 TY (Taiyo Yuden or something like that is very popular) Look for made in Japan Fuji CDrs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly_C Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 i like imation personally, never had one bad cd out of 100 so far that i've bought. but fuji is good too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost2520 Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 I say whatever CD's are on sale. Since my Aunt works at Office Depot and she gets the Office Depot brand at low cost, they work just fine for me. I personally like the cool imation ones that the whold disc is black including the side with the data, they just look cool.

Mr_Yuck Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 There is a difference between the Fuji made in taiwan and the made in japan. Made in taiwan is CMC Magnetics brand, made in japan is Taiyo Yuden, which is probably the highest quality out there. CMC Magnetics is OK, they make optimum, taiwan fuji, i think imation, and I think Memorex. along with others. I cant remember why TY is better, but it just is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 I prefer Memorex; they are always on sale. B) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
