I can't seem to find any of the good quality CD-R recommended by folks in
stores so I guess I'll have to order online.
The best I could find at Fry's was Maxell CD-R Pro which apparently just
has a more scratch-resistant surface. I don't know how the rest of the
media is supposed to hold up. I just needed something decent immediately
for returning data to clients until I can get some really high quality
media for archival purposes.
Lots of places are selling Mitsui Gold-standard CD-R for around $1 per
unit. Not bad if you really value your data. Mitsui Gold-standard claims
to have 200 year reliability and is a good brand according to Eric, and I
trust Eric's knowledge and experience when it comes to this stuff.
Here's a good site for ordering Mitsui gold as well as Taiyo Yuden and
other good quality product, all for good prices:
