UK - Staples Verbatim CDR deal - Club CDFreaks

**Arachne** · 16-07-2007

Bought some CDRs in Staples today - Verbatim 25 packs, £3.49 each.

I bought one cakebox of MBI, one cakebox of MIC CMC. Not bad for "everyday use"

Edit: on a related note, not one single spindle of TY Verbie CDRs left in either Staples, PCW, or Curry's (all Ashton, Bristol). Zebadee, have you cleared them out?

He would, just to wind me up

BTW, I forgot to make note of what they cost originally

Deals were pretty thin on the ground in all three stores today, shelves were quite bare, looks like they were waiting for a stocktake.

I've been burning more CD's than DVD's lately. I going to burn a couple DVD's today though.

**Arachne** · 16-07-2007

Ah. I pounced on them because I needed more for everyday use.

Was supposed to get some TY Verbie CDRs that my mum owes me, but alas the cupboard was bare

*Bob* · 16-07-2007

yeah you do seem to burn a lot of CD's for your mum. Your a good daughter.

Not good enough for her to buy me a 500 gig Maxtor HDD I was eyeing up though

"Maxtor" the Spanish term for "Where's my data gone?"

Are the Deathstars not the to-be-bashed drive du jour anymore?

LOL!

I've actually had good luck with Maxtors (in fact, I only had one drive develop bad sectors, and that was a Seagate OEM drive).

kg_evilboy · 17-07-2007

I have used nothing but Seagate for a long time now, so it's not a surprise that I also had an old Seagate OEM (13 GB) go bad a few months ago.
I wonder whether Hitachi have improved? Their past was not as gloryful...

The one I have (250 gig) seems good so far (9 months), but a bit noisy. Mind you, as long as my data's safe

As for Maxtor, still have a 6 year old 20 gig that I pull out in emergencies. Saved my butt a couple of times.

6 posts on-topic and 6 posts off-topic, so this will be the deciding post...

I hope they're reliable now; I just replaced my 80 GB Hitachi laptop drive with a 160 GB Hitachi laptop drive, and I don't want any nasty surprises.

OK - off-topic is in the lead.

EDIT: The drive I replaced is still working fine - I just wanted something bigger and faster.

It was my fault for mentioning a Maxtor drive

- but hey, it was reduced to £89, so it was a deal of sorts
