FujiFilm 50pk CDRs @ Target $19.99 (Taiyo Yuden)

[IshmaelLeaver]

The price dropped on these at my Target today. I think this may be nationwide.

These are 80 min Taiyo Yuden CDRs.

Target also has TDKs 30pk for $10 this week. And the 100pk is $30. So it's up to you to choose 10 extra TDK cdrs or Fujis

[superflysocal]

do these come with a regular jewel case, slim jewel case, or none (spindle)?

 

[DealDatabase]

Spindle if I remember correctly.

The Fuji Taiyo Yuden are very nice CDR's. The quality and dye are excellent for the type of stuff i'm burning. For seventeen bucks at costco...it is well worth it!

 

[JLenander]

Thanks IshmaelLeaver....Just picked up a spindle this evening. I was paying 14.99 for 30, so I'm happy!

What is the difference between quality and cheap CDs? As long as your burner doesn't have trouble with them, are they ok? Or will cheap CDs degrade over time more quickly than quality CDs?

 

[amdskip]

Cheap cd's should not be used to hold valuable information over a long period of time because they may or may not have the information still on them. The quality is in the coating.

i concur... stay away from cheap(low quality as oppose to lower cost) cdrs. like imation. that brand "is sucks". after 6 months, i can't read the cd anymore.

The TDK CDR's are very nice, but they are made in Taiwan. The TY's are made in Japan. The TY's are of much better quality in theory. I have some of the TDK's and I think they're really nice for me. They are on the same level as Imation which I have also not had any trouble with. The only CDR's I would always tell folks to stay away from is the cheap CompuCrap no label CDR's. Good luck.

Some imations are made by Taiyo Yuden so they are not all bad. And some TDK's are also made by Taiyo Yuden as well. Also, TDK's home brew (made in USA) is also one of the best. But I generally stay away from TDK since I'm not sure which I'm gonna get.

really? I've never had a problem with Imation? I've been using them for 1-2 years now

 

[eejimen]

How does Memorex compare?

 

[amdskip]

Not as good but alright for short term storage.

What are you guys doing to these cdr's to make them die after 6 months? I have cdr's I burned 5 YEARS ago on some of the crappiest media available at the time (memorex and kao) that still work fine! And that media I used really blows, hold it up to a light and you can see right through it. But if you could get them for 5 or 6 bucks a disc you were pretty happy since verbatim's were 10 bucks a shot.

I'm all for high quality media (verbatim's are my fav) for special stuff or car audio because they resist scratches a bit better... but discs that just die after 6 months? Come on.

Are you guys leaving them on the sidewalk or what? I've got music I burned years ago that I leave in my car (not in direct sunlight) during Dallas summers and it still is perfectly fine.

Unless someone is literally using these for a beer coaster or works in a steel mill I don't get it.

 

[eejimen]

You guys are scaring me. I have copied all my CD's and put them into a 400 CD Jukebox. I then sold the original CD. I hope that they will be ok. I don't plan on taking them out unless they will be replaced. So the CD's listed above are better to buy than memorex?

:Q

Got some of these about 3 weeks ago at costco B&amp;M for 16.99. these are some of the greatest cd's i've ever burned on. Not one coaster yet, and they 16x compatible. Picked up 4 spindles while i had the chance. Dunno if the deal is still going on or not, but i think that their b&amp;m and online prices are different. Someone might want to check it out.

 

[broadwayblue]

i'd get more...but i still have 3 1/2 spindles left from when they were $10 at officemax after rebate.

 

[ResearchEverything]

Just bought the $10 for 30 of the TDK's. They are not the TY's and they are made in Taiwan, but they work great for the cd players and no coasters yet. I try to stay close to 200 to 250 blanks. Good luck to all.

Well I used to think this too, however one of my &quot;high quality&quot; Mitsui cd's I was not able to read anymore the other day. It was about 1.5 years old I think. It was one of the Gold ones they used to make which was supposed to be high quality... definitely one of the highest priced.

Perhaps it was just a bad cd.

It makes me wonder how long any cd's will actually last. I would like to store family photos on them without worrying about losing them.

Just my opinion, but I would have to think the newer 16x speed cdr discs would have to be higher quality.

If it's important enough to you, I'd say buy multiple brands, burn multiple copies, reburn every few years, and store in multiple locations. Don't forget to CRC check before/after burning. Heck, they're cheap enough, why chances?

 

[nealh]

Watch out for the cheap TDK..I had a batch were all 20 were bad...As result I no longer buy TDK...Imation was a great brand for me till recently got a few coaster off my Plex....the Fujifilm appear to be top notch...I was looking for chance to get another 50 of these cheap..

Thanks
