| 1161897 | 2010-12-15 20:44:00 | Have been using Sony discs and am quite satisfied but have chance to try others at good price. Anyone's experience with Verbatim or Imation would help me decide. Pro's and con's please. | Krad (7878) | ||

| 1161900 | 2010-12-15 21:20:00 | Most 'name brands' are actually just re-branded & manufactured elsewhere. Try the links above, but I would suspect the actual disk manufacturer & actual disk type, would change often , so use as a guide only Personally, the el cheapies seem to work just as well(for me) as the name brand disks. I Dont like Imation (just a personal bias, dont seem as reliable) All depends what you are using them for. |

| 1161901 | 2010-12-15 21:55:00 | Myself After much research a few years back settled on Verbatim as easily available, cheap and consistently near the top of the tests. Taiyo Yuden do rate better if you get the right ones but aren't commonly sold in NZ other than online. Things change though and I haven't looked into this recently. edit: I don't like Imation and should mention Verbatim are usually mistsubishi made but cheaper than mitsubishi's own branded disks - always seemed odd to me. |

| 1161903 | 2010-12-16 00:44:00 | I have had problems with princo, they worked fine at the time but when I go back to them a year or more later some of the disks no longer read reliably | dugimodo (138) | ||

| 1161905 | 2010-12-16 21:00:00 | Depends on whether you want the disc to be readable in a few years. Imation in my experience tend to vary between ok & rubbish, so have avoided them for a number of years. Verbatim are generally good. The Sony's i've used have been good Taiyo Yuden's have been excellent. |

| 1161906 | 2010-12-16 21:09:00 | With some of the cd's I have I just create ISO's out of them. So, if the cd/dvd decides to die. I'll just create another. If its for the computer or hardware, I'll just download the file/s then burn them. If I have to | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
