Gigastorage Corporation?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I came across a CD-R from Memorex circa 2001. It's 16x, 700 MB, with a blue and white label surface on it. I checked the Manufacturer Name for giggles and was puzzled to find Gigastorage Corporation instead of INFODISC (Passable.) or CMC MAG (IMMEDIATELY TRY TO SALVAGE AND THEN THROW AWAY). Does anyone have any info on the quality of this Gigastorage Corporation?

Hmm... a company called Gigastorage Corporation with it?s name on a 700MB disk doesn?t fill me with much confidence. :lol:

In their defense, though, back in 2001, a gigabyte was a different value. =))

Yeah, I did a basic Google. :D But, I wanted more objective opinions, because, like with CMC, I doubt if on the Gigastorage Corporation's web site, they would say, "Ah, we so sorry! We make junk! We make Vanguard look like Verbatim!" :lol:

looked at their brand names they sell under and I've never seen them anywhere.I'm sticking with verbs and Yudens period :thumbup:

Have you actually used any of the discs db ? Are they readable now ?

I haven't tested if it's still readable yet. I haven't used them since at least 2001, it seems. :)

Well hurry up then !! :lol:

Ah, cheeky AND impatient, little, bastard, are we? =))

Since someone just HAD to know... :shifty: I can report that this Gigastorage Corporation Memorex CD-R read into an MDF image just fine on the NEC 3500a. However, the reported disc size was only 99.4 MB, so, it's not really that good a test. :D

*It is if you started out with 100 mb and 99.4 is all that is left*.......... :w00t:
