best place for blank CDs/DVDs

marrittm

hello i was just wondering where the cheapest and most reliable place to buy blank CDs and DVDs.
i have found lots of places but would like to know of trusted places where people have already used.

thank you

Personally I would always go for branded DVD's from a well known company (TDK/HP/Philips) and buying in bulk will be more cost effective. Look for a spindle of 25 DVD disks for about £20, maybe a bit less. Price might change for disk speed and if they're rewritable.

Buy TDK, well known brands, locally, they are to heavy to post.

That's nearly a pound a disc! Really expensive! Even including delivery costs you shouldn't need to pay more than about £7 or £8 for a spindle of 25, and £10 for a spindle of 50.

I'd give another vote to SVP.

Avoid eBay at all costs.

Amazon offer free delivery on blank media over the cost of £5, so weight isn't really an issue if you're buying from there.

100 Verbatim DVD-Rs for £20.99 delivered:

I've bought from ukdvdr for years. I favour Datawrite discs, very reliable for me.

EVERY datawrite set of discs ive bought off ebay (And thats probably at LEAST 10 different sellers) have been absolutely fine
So have the TDK and the Philips

Well you've been very lucky. But that's where most of the knock off disks end up.

I'm not saying there aren't any honest traders on eBay, but buying from a reputable retailer is the only way to guarantee you're getting a genuine product. Caveat emptor and all that.

I wouldnt touch any of the "branded" discs mentioned with a barge pole, failure rate is too high for me.
The only brand to go for is Taiyo Uiden, I have used DVDtech for years, and always get great prices.
