Review on πŸ“€ CMC Pro TY Technology Shiny Silver CD-R - 100-Pack Spindle by David Flores

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent quality CD-R.

Possibly the highest quality CD-R I've ever used. I dare say these are the best CD-Rs you can get without going crazy and buying those expensive "archival quality" discs. There aren't any coasters yet, and I seriously doubt I'll ever get one from this set. My last pack of Verbatims was so bad I wondered if my drive was going to die. Not only that, but do you know how you can tell the difference between the burned and unburned portions of a disc by looking at the underside? With my previous pack, I almost couldn't tell where that line was. With these Tayo Youdens, everything is as simple as a tag. Relief - my window didn't break! I just had a crappy pack of CD-Rs! I'm not saying it's necessarily a measure of quality, but it's just observation and intuition. old ghetto blaster. These discs read perfectly. However, my disclaimer is this: I usually shoot at 6-8x. I can burn a disc or two at 52x and let you know what I find. Maybe it's just an old habit caused by crappy CD-Rs and might not be necessary with these CD-Rs. I will have no hesitation in saying that as I go through these I will be buying another pack. Optical media seems to die a slow death and there are a lot of lousy CD-Rs out there. But these Taiyo are a real gem. I just hope my next set will be as good as this one.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Generally ok, but...
