Grain Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Which is better betweeen the two, + or -? I've only tried Verbatims +R's, and had fair luck with them(both 8 and 16X). Haven't tried their -R's though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus_McFartfinger Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Polo: Will the BIOS in your PC accept a 200gig drive? It's a P3/800, isn't it? You may find that it'll only see 132gigs unless it's had the BIOS written/flashed/updated to see large drives. My old Celeron 333 could use huge drives (400gigs+) but my old P3/1gig machine couldn't. It's worth investigating anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth investigating anyway. very true Shamus its an AMD800 and it would need to be flashed but I'm not buying one. I have enough HD space in my puter for my needs 160 gigs in 2 drives .The post was just some info for members in case they might want to expand, $50 for a 200 gig drive is a steal .My other puter is a 2.2AMD with a couple of 120Gig Sata drives that is sitting on my living room table waiting to be finished ,braided lines, dual PS,re-routing of all the wiring to hide most of it for a real clean look ,all I need is time which is in short supply right now and an OS .The 800 has been flawless since I built it only crash was when I installed some memory that I thought was Micron and turned out to be fake when I pointed it out to the vendor I got my money back ,he knew what he was selling ,counterfit crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't tried their -R's though.I have used QUITE A FEW 8X -R Verbs with no problems. The only +R Verbs I have used are their DL discs (with very few problems).
