Yes I will up a pic of the deal
Which brand are they?
Are they 25GB or 50GB please?
They are "mpm" branded 25GB Platinum surface. Normally they are $39.95. Made in Taiwan. Lifetime warranty with prepaid postage to return to IMCORP Pty Ltd.
Has anyone actually tried RMA'ing a CD-R from 10 years ago with life time warranty? I think manufacturers know no one is going to bother (on a 5c disc), so they can claim whatever they want.
lol, post back a disc with all your data (or pron) on it that didn't finalise correctly.
I wonder how many returns they get.
Any comparison on this brand to Ritek or X-copy? My Liteon IHBS212 recognises the 4x x-copy media as verbatim and writes/verifies flawlessly at 12x!
Postage (paid to Australia Post) will cost you $1.20 (per disc).
Burning 4X media at higher speed generally is fine, but once in a while it will fail. From my past CD-R, DVD-R, BD-R experience, anything that's not made in Japan or made in Singapore should be treated as disposable media. Important photos, data, work backups that you want to keep for years…. use a made in Japan one.
Also, don't just rely on the brand. Most of the Japanese brands ask other disc makers to make disc for them (and they will let those companies use their media code - which will trick the burners to allow faster burning.
none of that japanese companies allow that, stop talking rubbish you have no idea about
They all do. You think TDK made all their discs in Japan? In order to compete, they will ask other companies (CMC, Ritek, Prodisc) to make discs for them. Most people don't want to spend $2-$3 for a BD-R.
TDK will let those companies use TDK's media code because they are manufactured for TDK. Same goes for Maxwell, Verbatim (Mistubishi). TDK's 4X BD-Rs (the first batch) were made in UAE, yet they use TDK code.
Some other dodgy media companies will use those codes (without their permission) to trick your writers. TDK is quite unhappy about those companies doing that.
Why do you think MSY sell Taiyo Yuden DVD-Rs? It is because some people do care and only want made in Japan ones.
there are different media codes for the same company, CMC, etc…. but a disc made in singapore isnt the same as one made in taiwan, they have different codes, EVEN THOUGH ITS THE SAME COMPANY!
gotta try my local harveys tomorrow, god i hope they have a few.. will post back if they do. ive run out of the previous clearances from Dick Smiths.
Not as good as the Verbatim's Dick Smith had a while ago for $2.00 /5 Pack (RRP $20), only because I surprisingly managed to pick some up that time, this time H.N. had none for me.
Pretty good price. I would pick up a few.
