catgate Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 I have just found a plastic TDK DVD drum at the back of a drawer. It contains a dozen or more 4..7 GB disks. The message on the disks is :- DVD - R 1-16x SPEED I 4.7GB I have no idea what they are for, or from whence they came, and I would be very grateful for any information to dispel my ignorance, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Look like bog standard write once blank DVDs, unless somebody has already used them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Put them in the DVD draw and see if there is anything on them. If they are blank they are useable. I prefer minus R to plus R, and always use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted August 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 It shows what a luddite I am. I have been using 700mb discs for years and knew of no other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
