Cds And Dvds Not So Immortal After All

[Alpha]

It's happened to me numerous amount of times. It's happened to me the most with the CD-R's from PNY Technologies. Basically what happens is that the laser area of the disc start's pealing off. Before you know it, you can see through little spots on the cd which makes it no longer readable.

 

You can read the article about it @ This Link!

And the moral of the story is? Don't buy cheap media.

I have discs I burnt like 5 years ago that are still in absolute perfect working order.

yeah i get those a lot too. i even got one when its not even peel, i see like rings of dis-colored spots on my cd. like, the laser part of the cd was fading away....i ono, kinda sucks...it was a good mix

I hardly ever have problems with cds unless they're laying around for quite some time

the 3 brands I trust are as follows

 

1) TDK

 

2) memorex

 

3) Imitation

 

the brand that you should never trust no matter how cheap is SONY...that's right, SONY, I memmer I bought a spindle with about 100cdrs and about 30 of them were bad cd's that I had no choice but to snap(which was way too easy to do compared to TDK)

Gentleman's Quarterly CDs?!

 

But I had that problem with these ultra cheap CDs that I bought and burned all my movies on. I have old Memorex CDs from 4 years ago that work just fine but those new ones messed up in less than half a year.
