One of them was called cdfreaks, but they changed the site name. It has reviews and a forum. https://www.myce.com/review/Plextor-...der-68/writing -dvdr_rw-5/ This is another that comes to mind. http://www.cdrlabs.com/forums/ One thing you'll notice, is they don't seem to care about their original topics all that much, as burning of optical media has dropped in popularity. It's also one of the reasons that my single remaining computer store is stocking "crap" for media. The Ritek is gone. It's almost surprising that they stock any optical media at all. I can't imagine there's much of a market for it these days. There's still some. I still use dvd-r media for the most part, but, will still make use of an actual cd-r when it's called for. For example, not everyone owns a stereo system that can read a data disc full of mp3s and decode them for playback. Some people actually still own (and see no reason to ditch unless it dies) actual audio cd only players. And, for these people, a cd-r is the perfect media. [g] I also use the writable media for making read only iso/non iso copies of various things too. I try to keep atleast 100 of each on hand at any given time. There's one place that isn't too far a drive that still stocks writable media for a fair price. I've known the owner and the people who work there for years. For the purposes of integrity, If I'm working an infected machine in a live state, I'm purposely using tools provided via a read only source. It's an old habit and probably not necessary with todays crop of malware since it's not really worm/virus like in nature, but...I still catch myself taking those precautions. Pretty obvious I don't trust the very machines I love so much isn't it? [g] I don't trust them, because, like many others, I know how they work. rofl. -- To prevent yourself from being a victim of cyber stalking, it's highly recommended you visit he https://tekrider.net/pages/david-brooks-stalker.php ================================================== = An Emergency Call Centre worker has been fired in Toronto much to the dismay of her colleagues, who were unhappy with her dismissal. It seems that a caller dialled 911 from a cell phone stating, "I'm depressed and lying on a railway line so that when the train comes I can finally meet Allah." To which the call centre employee replied, "Remain calm and stay on the line." |
