dbminter Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Oh, dear god... :& Imation, another CMC bandwagon, buys Memorex, another CMC bandwagon... You know, the funny thing is Imation, like Memorex, USED to offer some quality products 5 plus years ago. Then, they went cheap, e.g. CMC, and almost everything they made, from floppies to CD-R's to DVD recordables, to audio cassettes, to DVD-RAM, to data tape all turned to crap. So, this means that, at least, Imation and Memorex will no longer be vying for the same shelf space at Wal-Mart to sell you cheap crap! You can get all your shit in one convenient place. http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/7234.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digidragon Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Well, shortly after losing my DVD burning virginity, I realised that brand names were worthless. I only ever but blanks now if I know the media ID beforehand. But thanks for the info. I'd always thought of Imation as a "quality" brand. I used to think of Memorex that way too - probably as a result of those TV ads showing the high note on the audio recording shattering the wine glass. But I was about five then - I know better now.

dbminter Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 I know that up to 2000, Memorex made a high quality CD-RW. It was only 4x, but, even up to today, those discs still worked. I don't use them anymore because of faster speeds available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grain Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I have some old memorex cdr's I bot "back in the day" of $400 4x2x4X cdr-drives. Have a few un-burned that do still work well, can over-speed them to 8X. When I first read about this merger, my first thought was similar to db's & digi's, one less brand name to avoid.
