Bulk packs of TDK Armor Plated discs?

Anyone know where to find spindles/bulk packs of TDK's Armor Plated DVD discs? All I've been able to find are 5 packs of the -R's in jewel cases, and they're kinda expensive (>$20). DVD+R versions would be nice, too...

DVD+R version is not there because TDK hasn't started producing there own +R media.

Hmm...I didn't know TDK actually made ANY media. Anyone know how good the -R's are?

TDK makes great media,if you're willing to pay the price they want.Usually $1.80 on sale.I get the same results with memorex + and -.You can catch them on sale for a $1 a piece at office max every 2 or 3 weeks.Most other places are $1.20 on sale.Fuji media doesn't do to bad either for a $1.20 a piece.I've used Fuji,Maxell,TDK and Memorex and no coasters yet.Anyway,here's a link to a dvd media site for reviews on certain dvd media and also who makes what brand media.

TDK TDK Armor Plated DVD-R 2x is made by TDK.
At least it states there MID code and they got at least one cd-r facotry so I think that they make there the dvd's to.
And is very good according to C't test results I posted earlier on this Forum.

Again, thanks! I'll pick some up and use them for the more important backups...

I just bought a TDK 4x 15pk DVD+R spindle from Costco. Don't remember the price, 1.xx per disc - something like that. RICOHJPN01, works great at 8x on OptoRite DD0401.

Just FYI.

I just swapped some Verbatium 4x's for some of the TDK 4x's, the TDKs burn great in the DD0401! It doesn't like the Verbatium's too much - at 8x the burn time is very erratic (~11:30-15:30, 4.35GB/disc)). I just use 'em at 4x.

Now Target just needs to put 'em back on sale! They had 30 packs for $30 for awhile...

Too bad the +R Armor Plated discs aren't out yet...

Very good info! I am about to try some Verbatims. Now I'm dropping the idea ......

I went to my local Best Buy to get that 50 pack of Memorex discs, but they had the -R's on sale not the +R's. I'll try to go to the other store tomorrow. Those have been good discs in the past, but I've not tried them in the Optorite yet.
