(Dead) Arita (Ritek) DVD+R 2.4X 100 Pcs Blank Media Spindle for "$39.99" after $20 MIR at Officemax

[soflawill]

having only a 4x burner, i do my burning at 2.4 even on 4x rated discs-time diff isnt that much, and i have heard less chance of errors that way, but have also heard that's an "old wive's tale". either way, 40 cents a pop for ricoh's aint too shabby

finally my crappy 2.4x dvd burner will get some badly needed attention. i already got a hundred blanks but one can never have enough blank dvds.

hi mystic....but i think i will pass on this....Arita is made by RITEK which also manufactures Memorex brand and I got two boxes of Memorex CD-RW discs that didn't work at all (Lite-On CD-RW burner/Nero 6.0) and RITEK was rated as "bad" compared to TDK (good ones). read about the ratings at cdmediaworld ratings

ciao!

[Macro2]

these are RITEK or RICOH?

BTW, 4x Memorexes burn fine on my TDK burner at 8X for the DVD+Rs and 4x for the DVD-R's.

I can't seem to find any deals lately on the DVD minuses. Maybe they will be the loser. Plus, the winner?

In this case, I think so. The Arita name is associated with Ritek. These DVDs identify as Ricoh, though, using an identifier program. So I can't figure out who actually made them. Is it that ricoh made them for ritek, or the other way around? I suppose it doesn't really matter. The disks I've had with this media code have been good quality disks.

Do they have a purple bottom?

Macro2 - what's with the double post? You did that earlier in this thread also. I looked at these Arita disks at the store, and yes they have a purple bottom.

 

[Macro2]

I dunno why I double post. I don't do it on purpose. Only thing I can think of is that I sometimes "back" out several pages after I post. Maybe that causes the double post.
Sorry...

 

[quincy2002]

Could be. No double the last time

 

[Macro2]

Yep...that's it. After you post...back out past the page you wrote the note and you will double post.
I'll try it...

This rating is for Arita CD-R, would it be the same for DVD+R ?

They should be the same.

 

[nitsuj3580]

how does the DC metro area not have an Office Max!!??? :disgust:

I never realized this in the year and a half I've been down here. Any time I've bought from OM, I've done it online.

Closest one is in Winchester, VA which is 65 miles away

I hope a link for these pops up on the website tomorrow.
