I bought it sometime last year (with a rebate) at Best Buy. Final cost? $2.99 (for a box of 100) with a rebate. Used it all up & turned out to be good media. Even though the media is marked 16x Nero says a top speed of 32x & it burned fine at that speed. The burner is a TDK VeloCD 4800b. Here's the listing for an already burned (last year) CDR. Manufacturer : Ritek Code : 97m15s17f Disc Type : CD-R Usage : General Recording Layer : Dye Type 7: Short Strategy (Phthalocyanine) Recording Speed : n/a Capacity : 79:59.74 703 MB Additional Capacity : n/a Overburn Capacity : not tested No errors & only a few minor dips in the graph with Nero CD-DVD speed. Don't know what speed Digital Research is rated for now or who makes the CD's.
