Infodisc CD-RWs - Any good?

[glock20rocks]

Just picked up a pack of Memorex 700MG/80min 12x CD-RW's. I just got 'em because they were the only 700MG RW's I could find. The discs id as Infodisc 4x-10x under CD Speed; Nere will burn 'em at 12x (every 10x RW I've will, though).

My question: Are they any good? I've never heard of Infodisc before...

I have used a lot of discs that used the Infodisc dye, Infodisc is a Korean company (correct me if I am wrong).

I bought a 10 pack of 4x 700mb Memorex CD-RW's last summer. I wish I never had.

Memorex 80 Minutes (700mb) CD-RW- HORRIBLE AVOID AT ALL COSTS
ATIP: 97m 25s 30f
Disc Manufacturer: InfoDisc Technology Co., Ltd.
Reflective layer: Phase change
Media type: CD-ReWritable
Recording Speeds: min. unknown - max. unknown
nominal Capacity: 702.83MB (79m 59s 74f / LBA: 359849)
SMART-BURN Speed Limit = 4X



How's the quality?



9 out of 10 discs failed out of the box, regardless of what speed I burned at.

The High Speed (10x) Memorex discs got bashed pretty good over here too: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php ... adid=42555

Just burned a full disc an ran a scandisk on it. Came out pretty good; only 4 blocks where damaged. Don't know if that'll LAST though...

If you can find them, I have a AOpen 700mb CDRW.

I overburned it slightly at 12x for music and it came out perfectly.

I haven't tried it with data though.

good cdrs, cdrws never have errors. if there are damaged sectors on a brand new cdrw then it isnt good.

Let's not forget that this is a Lite On 48125W drive; a drive not exactly known for high quality writing
