100pk CDR 52X $9

GQ 100PK

I know Fry's had this deal but for us in east coast there are no Fry's BM.

Ordered two last Friday evening, got it this Monday. Man the shipping is fast!

Total $26.67, $13 for 100 pk, not bad.

Here is the information:

ATIP: 97m 26s 56f
Disc Manufacturer: Lead Data Inc.
Reflective layer: Dye (Short strategy; e.g. Phthalocyanine)
Media type: CD-Recordable
Recording Speeds: min. unknown - max. unknown
nominal Capacity: 702.83MB (79m 59s 74f / LBA: 359849)


Quote from CDRplanet: "Mitsui's Patented Phthalocyanine (tha-lo-cy-a-neen) dye has several advantages over others: More responsive to the writing laser so cleaner, better defined pits are created. Longest lifetime of any photosensitive dye More transparent, contributing to Mitsui's high reflectivity What does this mean for you? Cleaner pits means fewer errors. Higher reflectivity means better compatibility among readers. Longer life......300 years is, for all intents and purposes, forever. (estimated lifetime is 300 years for our gold CD-R and 100 years for our silver)"

nice find

 

[ragazzo]

some of the reviews indicate that these aren't that reliable at speeds greater than 24x?

Maybe, I don't know. Burned fine on my LiteOn 52X CDRW.

Btw, "Lead Data" ("GQ" brand), is not the same quality level as Mitsui, although nearly all CDRs these days except for Verbatim's use p-cyanine. (TY uses cyanine, and Verbatim/MCC uses azo.)

 

[VietDude]

definitely nice find

 

[desteffy]

good find.

wish we still saw those near weekly 50 packs free AR from various places.

Not bad, but shipping (ground) killed it for me ($9.81 for 100, $13.something for 200)
