Scarcity of High Speed, Ultra Speed, and Ultra Speed Plus CDRW media?
My machine came with a Samsung 52x cd-r, 24x cd-rw. I tried 10x and Ultra
Speed memorex. The 10x works well, Ultra not so good. This is the only brands I've seen offered in stores. Does the old 4x cd-rw fine. The cd-r part works fine. Dave Cohen wrote in message news:sdDdc.3000$192.1220@lakeread06... I've been thinking about replacing my old CRX140E CD-RW drive with the newer Sony CRX230E which claims to read and write to CDR at 52x while rewriting to CDRW at 32x. I went to Compusa, Bestbuy, and Office Depot, as well as a few other local computer stores but found that most of the CD-RW media being sold is 1x-4x type and that there are not much in terms of high speed cd-rw and ultra speed cd-rw except for a box of 5 or 10 at best and some of those at 650MB instead of 700MB. I can't even find any ultraspeed plus cdrws except for Verbatim after a long google search. Since I use cd-rws more than cd-rs because of their reusability, my primary reason of upgrading the cd-rw drive was to get better rewrite speeds past 4x which of course require both the drive and the media to be that. Are these higher speed cd-rw media past 4x not reliable for longer term storage? And why is it that the drives come out as 32x rewritable yet 16x-24 and 32x rewritable cd media is rare? Should I stick to CRX140E and not go for CRX230E? Please help. |
