Media for slow burners
I've a Plex and TDK that burn cdr's in the 10-12x range. Very reliably
on my diminishing pile of discs made for burning at those speeds. Can't find them any more so I'm wondering if there are high speed discs I should avoid or prefer for using with these burners? I understand all the talk about Made in Taiwan, etc. Just want to know about speed issue. Or, if compatibility a problem, does anyone know where I can find the older discs? Thanks much. |

You'll have to do some testing, but my experience with both T-Y and Mitsui blanks suggests that they'll work well at 12x even if rated as high as 48x. At 8x, there were a few (recoverable) errors, but at 12x they are error-free in either of my Plexwriter 1210s's. You may find that true on less expensive media which are easier to locate, but there's no guarantee. Of course, the claim on the package won't be worth much until the drive learns to read printed English. G Mike -- http://www.mrichter.com/ |

I understand all the talk about Made in Taiwan, etc. Just want to know about speed issue. Or, if compatibility a problem, does anyone know where I can find the older discs? Thanks much. With my external USB burner, I was stuck with burning at around 4x-8x on media rated at around 24x for a long time until I got a desktop computer that I could install the USB 2.0 card in (to allow burning at 24x and reading at 40x), yet I had pretty good results. Your mileage may vary, because there are a lot of variables involved. You could try buying a small package of CD-Rs and make some test discs to see how well they work. If they work well, you could then buy a larger package of the same brand and use those. If they don't work, you at least won't have wasted too much money starting with the small package. -- Travis [Remove all three q's to demunge my email address.] |

I burn everything at 12X. Fast drive, slow drive, fast disks, slow disks. If I get a C2 error, I start over with a new disk. Think that happened once...maybe...

Thanks everyone for help. It's been awhile since I used this group and
it's deju vu all over again what with smh coming up out of his swamp to spew more gas. Like the familiar neighborhood old many peeping tom/stalker. And I thought I had my kill file setup just right.
