Finally,some decent + format media from the web at 20 cents each!!!! The last few week's B&M store sales has been very poor.

I'll avoid the fuji's. I will stock up on the ridata's for that price. Thanx for the link rtm27!!

Newegg has been keeping ridata at that price for a while. Every so often they raise the price by charging shipping. I've noticed they have kept the price at $19.99 for 100 for a while now.

Perhaps other more knowledgeable can offer advices and/or opinions. I am relatively new to the scene so cannot make any comments about TDK media.

I would honestly pay the $3.00 more for the Sony's. I have had terrible luck with TDK's in the past. And I steer away from ANY media ,made by CMC Mag. Just my opinion from direct experience with TDK Media. Good Price though!
For me: Sony & Verbatim = 99%+ success rate.
TDK= <-50% success rate.
It really all depends on your burner, firmware, etc. Also, dye rot occurs in all media. Sony & Verbatim use AZO dye which holds up very well. Some people have great luck with TDK. Just not me.

I have had great luck with TDK. They are my favorite. I have a +90% with TDK's...about 94-95%.

Sony's have actually given me the most trouble....85-90% success.

In some circumstances there are burner and media compatiblilty issue with all discs.

If you are going to buy 1 pack of 50, it might be worth it to pay $4 more for SONY, but if you are buying 8 packs like above, then definitly go with the cheaper RITEK or CMCMAGs.

Not bad. Gigaware 25 pack DVD + - R is $5.99 each. I bought some several months ago in the 50 packs. They coded out as Ritek & Ricoh.

I use many CMC MAG M01 in the Maxell 16x +R guise and can confirm they work very well indeed. I prefer the RICOHJPNR03 but you can no longer be guaranteed the Ricoh's, in the Maxell guise anyways
