Product Description

This hefty 50-pack of TDK data CD-Rs is designed for use exclusively with computer-based CD burners. You can store up to 700 MB of any kind of data--audio, video, text, programs, data, graphics, etc. When using the discs for music, you'll be able to store up to 80 minutes per disc. These discs are write-once, meaning that once you've recorded something, you may not erase it later. This makes them perfect for everything from one-off music compilations to long-term archival storage.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best CD-Rs, June 18, 2002

This review is from: TDK CD-R80CB50 CD-R Data, 80 Minute, 700 MB, 52x (50-Pack Spindle) (Electronics)

My first experience with CD-Rs was a long long time ago. It was with some external SCSI Pinnacle burners. No 'burn-proof' technology, 'buffer underrun' messages popped up the very next second you tried to multitask (and it shouldn't be a problem on NT, right?). Then I had Plextor, HP, Sony, TDK burners and writers.
I tried various CD-Rs from Memorex, Sony, HP, Ricoh, even some no-name brands. TDKs always gave me the best results, even with old burners. Right now I don't buy any other CD-Rs but TDK. I have an old HP8100i burner on my old Pentium-Pro PC and I didn't have a coaster in a long time. And it's not even worth mentioning about it when I burn a disk on new veloCD on my P4.
I make data back-ups regularly, burn some music CDs (both MP3s and audio), make copies of some software I own, keep photos from my digital camera, I even have my computer's Ghost image on them. I use both Roxio and Nero. They work on my PC, on my portable CD-player, on my CD deck, in my car, at home and in the office. It works like a charm every time. Luck? Don't think so. Quality? You bet.
And, yeah, for coasters I go to Ikea.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best CD-R I've Used, May 8, 2002

This review is from: TDK CD-R80CB50 CD-R Data, 80 Minute, 700 MB, 52x (50-Pack Spindle) (Electronics)

I can't vouch for the other reviewers here, but I use a Sony Spressa CRX-140E CD-RW drive with these disks and the only coasters I get are the ones I've accidently caused (due to buffer overruns while accessing other programs when burning, burning the same files twice accidently and cancelling the burn job, etc.) and not because they're a low-quality product. I've gone through probably about 250 of them, too, for various client projects.

Frankly, I switched from Sony to Samsung and then to these, and I find their quality to be quite good, and even when I've thrown them, dropped them, and spilled Coke on them, they still work. Another big plus is the *lack* of decoration on the top, as I prefer my discs nice and simple, without coloring, huge logos, or lines to write things in.

I highly recommend them to anyone looking to get high-quality CD-R discs for the least amount of dough.

I've used half of the cds to copy music and have had no problems. It's a good product for the money. Recommended.
