Tesco CD-R 700MB 52x

It's been a long time since I've actually needed to use a CD-R, as I normally stick to blank DVD disks regardless of whether I'm burning movie files, photos, personal data, or backing up my hard drive. But my six year old cousin was given a personal CD player for his birthday. Now I know what you're thinking, most likely the same thing I did. Can you still buy those, and why not just get him an mp3? Needless to say he wanted one and nothing else would do. So I decided that I would put some of his music on to a couple of CD's for him (naturally nobody thought to buy him an actual CD for his birthday.) He is going though the stage of either loosing ...  Read the complete review

I still remember the old days when a single CD from Sony or TDK used to cost around £1 and they used to come in individual CD case. But now you can buy loads of them in a towering stack called 'spindle', and they come cheaper than match-sticks !! I bouth 25 pack CD from Tesco last year. It was nice small spindle package and CDs were nice silver matt finish with Tesco's name written on it. I have bought cheap CDs from the internet websites, but they come in ugly Red / Purple colors.. But this CDs were better lookwise. As they are cheap and basic, I did not expect anything extra ordinary out of it. I just wanted to burn some audio CD to play in the ...  Read the complete review

These days there are hundreds if not thousands of different brands of blank media on the market, and it's no surprise that the supermarket giant Tesco has branded some as there own. Now the quality of blank media is solely dependent on the ink used in the dye on the underside (the colourful bit that reflects). It is clear after using some Tesco one's that no single ink is used but several different ones, so the quality obviously varies with them. Some burns work perfectly fine in stereos, cars and laptops. Others are coasters (failed burns) and hence useless. All I can say is you have no guarantee of which batch of these discs you are buying and ...  Read the complete review

What can I write about Tesco CD'rs. Although lot of people actually says that we should stay away from value CD and DVD's I find Tesco CDrs useful and very solid. I have never been dissapointed. The most important thing is the price. You get 52 700 MB CDs for as far as I remember 9,99 and thats a bargain. Off course you can invest in Verbatim or TDK disc which are more posh and lets say more expensive but if you have a lot of data to burn every day as a storage drive Tesco's CDs are far more better. 52 CD's thats over 35 GB of data. You can store lots of pictures, photos, music or even a few homemade movies on one CD. There's lot of opinions that ...  Read the complete review

I purchased a pack of tesco 50 CD-R 700 MB 52x for my mac mini and had a 90/% success rate. Then I bought another 50 and none worked. I bought a pack of Sony 48 x and so far all have worked and I have used half of them. I know others who will not use tesco discs. As far as I am concerned i won't buy them again. Tesco must look at the quality of the discs they are making or having made for them. I also have a low success rate with their dvd rw. So I am afraid i have to give tesco a big thumbs down and if you are a mac user a definite no. O and i got the sony from tesco buy one get one free so i bought 2 packs for one. When none of the tesco discs worked i ...  Read the complete review
