Traxdata CD Media

I found my local Staples was selling Traxdata Silvers for £3.99 per box of 10 with jewel cases, so I invested in 5 boxes (mad impetuous fool). A friend of mine had been using them for a good while and so I reckoned they must be okay. Oddly, they seem to be right down the middle average. Yes, a few discs have failed (that's right from the shrink wrap to the writer) and I have had a few not read in other machines. Another odd error I occasionally suffered was, upon inserting a new, freshly unwrapped disc, I would be told that there was no blank space - in other words, apparently pre-filled! Also, the audio CD performance is sort of average. Not ...  Read the complete review

Most people seem to think that Traxdata CD's are rubbish. If people are moaning about them not working then it's that they take too long to recognise in a CD player. Personally I think they're fine, although I seem to have a lot less trouble with my CD's than most other people. Traxdata have a lot of different CD's on offer, but most people will be familiar with either the 74 or 80 minute CD-R's.

Traxdata... well, from the moment you first set eyes on the box you have to have concerns! Traxdata CDs come in lurid yellow and blue boxes which give the impression of something cheap and nasty lurking within.

The great attraction with Traxdata is the extremely low cost per CD. As well as the hideous yellow boxes, you can also buy Traxdata CD media loose - either ...  Read the complete review

Has anyone noticed a dramatic price fall in the cost of CDRs? A few months ago I was paying 50p a piece for blue/silver unbranded 80 minute discs in jewel cases. I have now found that I can get 100 blue/silver 80 minute Traxdata CDRs IN JEWEL CASES for under £40!!! I was originally using the unbrandeds because of the low price, now I am using the Traxdata discs and I am very impressed. The lower cost appealed to me when I bought the braned discs, and I haven't had one fail yet. I use a lot of CDs for backup purposes, and I used to find that I would get 1 in 10 failing with the unbrandeds. The Traxdata discs are superb for not failing. The ...  Read the complete review
