| TDK CDrs in Tin Tube Ferreting about in my local Tandy Electronics store the other day I saw TDK branded CDrs in a tin tube (like a biscuit container) with a blue label. The tin holds 100 CDrs and is stamped "Made in India". Are these only for the Australian market... and does anyone know who really makes them and if they are any good???

Edit: I've also burned plenty of the CDRs on a Sony CRX230EE CD burner, they burn quite nicely.

| Re: TDK CDrs in Tin Tube Thanks Arachne... If they're good for you then that's recommendation enough for me.

| Re: TDK CDrs in Tin Tube Yeah, seems that they are always underestimated because they are "Made in India".

| Re: TDK CDrs in Tin Tube Put it this way...I've trusted one set of my backups (I have two sets) to the TDK MBI CDRs, and the DVD+Rs (MBIPG101 R04).

| Re: TDK CDrs in Tin Tube Quote:
MBI's main problem a few years ago was the poor firmware support from the drive manufacturers -> unoptimised write strats in combination with mediocre (at best) disc quality lead to horrible burns. Today, MBI media is one of the better alternatives for budget-oriented consumers. As you may know, tests of the German magazine c't showed MBI DVD+R media to be of good quality, and very resistant against climatic impact. | |
