<< Most of the 100pk TDk spindles from Costco are Made in Taiwan (CMC) if they are 24X. The 32X are mostly labled Made in Japan (TY), BUT there have been Made in Taiwan in the 32X spindles. The easiest way is to look at the lables. Hope this helps. >>
TDK 50 spindles in Staples are made in Taiwan.
With burnproof, I don't think disc made in Japan has any advantage than in Taiwan. And TDK at staples is $4.94 after rebate. limit 2 per individual.
