CD-RW Media Deals

[Novac]

Are there any hot deals out there for CD-RW media? The number of discs isn't important . . . 1, 3, 5, 100 -- whatever! All of the deals I ever find are for CD-R or CD+R.

 

Oh, and if there's a BF deal coming up, that's fine, too :)

 

If there are no deals, which sites are best for finding cheap media that works reliably?

IMHO, people are buying fewer CD-RWs since the prices of Flash Drives have fallen so much. I'll see what I can find...

 

For reliability, I'd recommend a brand you are familiar with (TDK, Sony, Verbatim, HP, etc.)

Go with Marcster's idea, go with a flash drive. They are getting larger and cheaper.

 

Here's a few:

Here's one that is about the size of CD-RW's for $34.99.

I think the size of a formatted CD-RW is only like 640MB. So a 512MB flash drive (about $13.00 on sale) would almost be the capacity of a CD-RW. A 1GB flash drive (about $18.00 on sale) would be MORE than the capacity of a CD-RW. These can be found for even less on BF!

 

Oh, and stay away from Memorex CD-RWs -- they're just junk!

If you are still looking for CD+RW deals, Officemax has 50-packs of 12x Magnavox CD+RWs for $19.99. It's on page 3 of the circular. Good through 12/2/06.
