Too Cheap?

Written: Jan 24 '03

Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0
Pros: Inexpensive, easy to get

Cons: 10% bad CDs per package? Unreliable with old Yamaha CRW6416.

The Bottom Line: If you want better quality get: Fuji Film CDRs (50/$15) they are great and have no problems.
katzlbt's Full Review: 50PK CDR MEDIA 700MB 80MIN CD-R80CB50
These CDs are a disappointment. I use cdrecord to write iso images on these CDs I had 2 CDs just stop recording with a media error after 123MB and after 9MB, both unfixable and have to be thrown away. I can exclude a buffer underrun since BurnFree is on. I am quite disappointed by this product. The labeling area is tiny and on the rim of the cd. Good if you like to write in a circle. The ATIP media information from cdrecord is:

Indicated writing power: 5
Is not unrestricted
Is not erasable
Disk sub type: Medium Type A, low Beta category (A-) (2)
Disk type: Short strategy type (Phthalocyanine or similar)
Manuf. index: 3
Manufacturer: CMC Magnetics Corporation
