Blank-Media Reviews

I use this particular brand of Zip disk to store and back up the 400+ customer reviews and guides that I've written and submitted to Amazon™ over the past few years. It's definitely a step up from the 20 floppies I used to store my write-ups on, that's for sure. Even after transferring all of my write-ups to the Zip disk, there's still plenty of space left over for all the subsequent reviews I'll likely be typin' up and submitting to Amazon™ in the future (like this one for example).

I've also found a Zip disk to be quite useful in storing downloaded audio & video files from the 'net. I also use it to drop backup copies of my fave and most-often-used programs (such as my ISP's installation program and several apps I use for my eBay™ auctions) into, just in case one of 'em goes a bit haywire on me. Better safe than sorry...

'Late

I picked up a pair of these to use at a sales meeting recently, and they were wonderful. I was using them to move really big PowerPoint files between a variety of laptops, to coordinate a group presentation. For that purpose they were outstanding. Very fast, and very easy to use.

When you plug this into the USB port on your computer it shows up in My Computer as an additional hard drive. All you need to do is drag the files to/from the new drive to move them back and forth.

My only complaint is the cap. I gave the second unit to my boss, and she managed to lose the removable cap within the first hour. Completely her fault, of course, but that sort of thing should be considered in the unit's design.

DVD Recorders are more finicky than my cat at dinner time!
Some may like a certain brand of blank media more than others.

I have a TOSHIBA DVD Recorder. I purchased a 25 pack of these
Maxell DVD-R's. Some of the disks worked fine , others did not.
But a 25 pack of PANASONIC DVD-r's all worked!

But when the MAXELL Disks work, it has unbeatable quality.
The color and luminance is outstanding!

I recommend purchasing a 10 Pack to start with.
Find out if it works well in your dvd recorder.

If any of the disks do not work ,return it to Maxell.
They send you a free replacement(in a sealed jewel case)
within one week!

Many of the newer laptops don't come with floppy drives. Supporting users who require floppy use but have no floppy drive can be difficult. Memorex's 3.5 external USB floppy drive is easy to use, at an affordable price. No software needed (at least not for the latest Windows OS and Mac OS systems.) It was immediately recognized by the system, and useable. (Insert USB cable into system, insert floppy into drive, browseable floppy!)

This product is especially good in that it means multiple people can share the drive as needed rather than wasting space and weight lugging around a laptop with the added feature.

This item is sort of like a cd stomper, except you use a small glue to press the labels by hand. It only comes with 2 labels though, which is a big caveat since you then have to buy extra labels. If you have some labels already around and want a good applicator, go for this. If you want a full cd labelling kit, though, you should go for the CD stomper (memorex cd labelmaker deluxe kit), or just plain stick-on labels (fellowes NEATO CD/DVD Labels (40-Labels)). This is very inexpensive, though, which is a BIG plus.

I just received a box of these disks for Christmas. What a great surprise! I love the way these things look and so far, how they transfer media in a reliable fashion. The only downfall seems to be my laptop's DVD drive. It doesn't like these disks at all, but I doubt it has anything to do with the CD itself, it's probably just the low-powered laser causing the issue. I think I'll grab myself a spindle as soon as I use these up!

These Paper sleves with windows are great for CD Spendals. I purchased these to protect the cd's I make for friends and family to keep them from getting scratched. Not as good as a hard plastice case but all in all you get what you pay for.

It's much clearer than this other brand of tape recorder I've tried. If you have enough clearity, no dust, then it will sound even more like it's bass-boosted. If your radio's that good. Clear enough when you listen to. I don't know about its breakability though.

Sometimes, these DVD recorders can be very difficult to recognize which kinds of DVD discs can be used, whether it is for the computer, or if you're like me who has a DVD Recorder / VCR combo. All in all, the flipside is the kind of quality these actually have. Still, Memorex does absolutely make it very easy to format which kinds can be used for what devices. The 3 Pack of DVD-RW discs work only with the home DVD recorders and can be played back on the computers. It really does showcase a great deal to record on. These are very good to record with and very simple to save. I just can't think of any other brand of DVD media to buy than this. Memorex hits the nail on the head.

The main problem I have with this product is that, in my experience, the inside part of it breaks out fairly easily. Other than that it is a great and neat way to store 4 CD's in the space that 1 CD usually takes.

You can't put a front-cover or back-cover insert into it because the CD's use all the space inside. If you want a colour front you need to print on a sticker (label) and put this on the front. The back of the case has "grooves" in it so you can't stick a full-sized label on the back.
