CMC Pro CD-R Disc Results

[Dawn_fan]

I have been wanting to make this post for a long time but I never really got around to do it. Here I am now though.

There has been a decent amount of talk about the CMC Pro CD-R discs on the forum but there wasn't ever really concrete testing with some results, so I thought I might post my results including scans and such.

I believe since I don't already have so many posts on the forum, I can't post in the media section, so I will put this post in the Chat section for now. Maybe an admin or higher level could move this thread to the Media section if suitable.

I will try my best to follow the format of other media tests so it's easy to find information.

I also apologize for not having too many drives to test with. Anyway, here goes:

I have used the Verbatim DataLifePlus CD-Rs before these and I must say, the results are very close, if not the same. I can't comment on if CMC preserved the original quality of Taiyo Yuden CDs, as I never used them before they were bought out by CMC, but the results seem promising.

If anyone would want to purchase these discs, I would recommend buying them from B&H Photo Video. Amazon doesn't officially sell them and the 3rd party sellers are charging too much. BH sells them themselves so it's more reliable to buy from them. They can be found here: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1257816-REG/cmc_pro_tcdr_valzz_sk_pro_valueline_silver_thermal.html

The LG WH16NS40 drive is a common one people use nowadays, and from my experience, the CMC PRO CD-R discs work as well as the DataLifePlus AZO discs with this drive.

I also believe the price per disc is less, in the link I posted from BH Photo Video, you can get a 100 pack of CMC Pro CD-Rs for about $24. Whereas the Verbatim DataLifePlus AZO CD-Rs are going for $20 on Amazon for only a 50 pack: https://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-700MB-DataLifePlus-Inkjet-Printable/dp/B0001LS35W?crid=3LG8UH7JKNZL1&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HR9uV01IrRju8p1hQEZTr0TWIlS-qRxisjEyZGWcl5gMZ_ujuu_PA0DfUpE7JiyahXg4p3IFVTk0CYAxNthGXN1kSSEV7eqdo8uSkYmpOurNv5NAOgeAD9ZWg9jIm7VX1IV4ytt6pHErU_kvXW_GDM65VKS7vRj1Yc_dQSLG7-bTDQy31Nj8-p7MxmU7EpJmKdsOFckEp7K4sEGRA9-4yJEZuxAHGiSsoiWV2lvim1I.R0udfWsiF6DoDxALAmOWjAOaC-_OkwQp-kLix7JGSSU&dib_tag=se&keywords=verbatim%2Bdatalifeplus%2Bcd-rs&qid=1742918521&sprefix=verbatim%2Bdatal%2Caps%2C126&sr=8-1&th=1

The value of the CMC Pro CD-R is better than the DataLifePlus discs right now and they yield the same, if not better results.

I think we can start recommending the CMC PRO CD-Rs alongside the DataLifePlus CDs when we suggest media to other users.

Of course, countries other than the US might have trouble finding CMC PRO CD-R as BH Photo Video is only selling in the US, I believe.

 

Anyways, I hope this thread helps. If you would like more information, feel free to ask and I will do my best to provide it.

Those CD-R tests parallel the CMC Pro DVD-R tests I performed a few years ago.  From what I gathered, the CMC Pro TY DVD-R were still of the same high quality that TY used to produce itself.  And on par with Verbatim DataLife Plus/AZO DVD-R made by Mitsubishi.

Well that's good to know. It's also good to know that the CMC Pro DVD-Rs are on par with their DataLifePlus/AZO counterparts. 

I wonder if it's because CMC now takes care of both segments, the Taiyo Yuden segment and the Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation segment. I guess they are dedicated to those segments being good quality while they cheap out on the Life Series. 

Either way, I think CMC Pro discs in general are safe to recommend.
