The best CDRs

[Ol'Tunzafun]

This question keeps coming up and I've never been able to find any data or even qualified opinion on the matter until I ran across this article.

If you would rather just cut to the chase...
Verbatim Datalife Plus. (the deep blue ones) gets the nod.

Good to know but what's kinda ironic is that in a
decade or more everyone will be using a better storage medium anyway (probably dvd based) so
modern cd-rw drives and their disks will have
gone the way of the ISA slot on mobo's.

When dvd-rw drives become a little cheaper
we'll be thinking of our current cd-rw drives
as floppy drives (i.e. "dated").

(no big news flash there I guess...:rolleyes: )

I keep a stack of cheap/bulk CD-R's for general purpose burning and have used Verbatim CD-R's pretty much exclusively for the important/long-term/backup burns. I have yet to have a problem with the Verbatim's and they're a few years old now...

Can't say a bad thing about Verbatim myself, though for Audio CD burning i would probably say the silver based ones are the better buy
