Scarthy © ® ™ Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 Hi Boris,I use Traxdata 10x CD/RW's bought from a local computer fair. They cost me £1 each or a box of 10 was £8, and that was before Xmas2002 (probobally cheaper now!).I have used Traxdata 4x but they seemed unreliable to me. The 10x seem fine... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nellie2 Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 I agree with Madboy......CD-RW's can be a bit dodgy......CD-R's are better for keeping stuff on. I usually get mine from a computer fair.......£5 for 25. But my mum says that they sell CD-R's at Morrisons.....buy one get one free packs. Well they did, don't know if they still do 'cos I don't have a Morrisons by me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarthy © ® ™ Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 Morrisons are doing Imation 48x speed CD-R's. They are £5.99 for a box of 10 or 3 boxes for £10 ! They also do Maxell (I think), though the Imation work out cheaper.Offer still on today at my local Morrisons... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted April 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 The only Morrisons I'm aware of within 25 miles (Cribbs Causeway) is still only 25% constructed.Apparently they want to use the CD-RWs as if they were big floppies (for back-ups-which can subsequently be overwritten ?)Thanks all - I'll pass on the comments.

Guest Nellie2 Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 I wouldn't use a CD-RW for backups....to unstable. I back up to a separate hard drive myself........worth the extra outlay for the piece of mind. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madboy33 Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 why overwritten when you can have a complete backup forever on CD-R and not mistakenly overwrite themmadboy33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 Also CD-r's store more on them than CD-RW's. This is because of the method of formatting to make them re-writeable. That's my pennorth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of Calcutta Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 i use cd-rw s to burn music to listen to while driving ;) so when i get tired of my current collection i erase it and record a new one..less coasters ;);):P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 I can well understand his Royal Highness wishing to overwrite music, but CDRW for any other purpose NO THANKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 i use CD-RW all the time, for music and forum backups (as well as other things).I have never had a problem at all, but then i do use TDK which are of 'high quality'!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
