DVD-R media

[marchk]

I just picked up a Lite-On DVD+/- R/ RW 8x ...

If I pick up these: http://store.yahoo.com/supermediastore/ritek-ridata-g05-8x-dvd-r-cake-box.html will they work with my drive?

Or will the 4x work? http://store.yahoo.com/supermediastore/100-ritek-4x-dvd-r-with-intenso-10-pack-freeshipping.html

I'm guessing the only difference between the two is write speed, correct?

You should be straight either way... Ritek is a good DVD brand.

Personally, I say... "follow your budget". :thumb:

Easy. They both will. Ritek is the best.

BTW: I once ordered Supermedia's house brand DVD-Rs-it was a mistake. My LiteOn hates them.

Also, be sure to use coupon codes (from the deals page) when you order. You can save an extra couple of bucks.

I used Princo DVD-R media with my old Pioneer 4x DVD-R drive and it worked wonderfully. :thumbup:

I now has a NEC AD-2100A (Dell OEM), which only does +R/+RW. I am going to flash the drive to make it does -R/-RW and try the Princo or Ritek -R media.

;)

that was the best "life extension" ive done for an "almost obsolete" drive.

i have the same exact drive, thats now an ND-1300A with a mere flash of the firmware. burns DVD-R discs easily now. I used Princo discs, and they worked fine.

Can you let us know how the purchase goes? I tried to get some hard drives off of a yahoo store and i got ripped for 200 bucks.

Supermedia store is fairly good. I ordered a 100-disc spool from them yesterday too. Almost all my DVD-R's come from them and meritline.

My firmware flashing went flawlessly so I'm going to get one or two Princo DVD-Rs from my co-worker and try burning it. Hopefully everything works out alright.

How about Ridata? What are some crap brands to avoid?

Ridata is the "consumer brand" of Ritek. They are good disks.
