I've been "bitten" by buying CR-Rs on sale. I have had the best luck
with Imation.   Often CD mfrs put their poorer quality CD-Rs on sale for
use by those who simply want to record music but for important data
files they often cause problems.

I
think part of the problem is that back then we only had slow burners and

the CD-R blanks were made for that. Now we have high speed burners and
it's getting harder to find blanks made for the more reliable slow speed

burning. Burning a high speed blank with slow speed is going to result
in non-standard pit size."


I use an HHB Burnitt CDR 830. I think it would be described as a slow
burner? So far I have had no problem with archive material but my oldest
material is only two years old. For CDr's I always buy the best deal at
Radi Shack! Can anyone recommend reliable CDR's for my unit? You could
say that I am burning with anticipation.
