A couple years ago I bought 200 TY DVD+R discs. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of trying to save 3 bucks and got the kind that didn't have a printable/writable surface on them. I hate how they have a shiny and slippery writing surface and look the same on both sides.
They're amazing discs though. They are the only discs I've found that work correctly on a very old DVD player and a PS2. The people at cdfreaks also seem to think they're just about the best thing ever, except maybe for "archival" discs that nobody really wants to pay for.
I don't use DVDs to back up computer files anymore, but there are numerous other uses where they occasionally come in handy. Not in large volume, though.
So now I need to think about whether I should buy any more. I still have plenty of them, but I do use old tech devices so they will probably have value to me for a very long time.
I don't have any TY CDRs, so that's something I should probably get a spindle of. My CDRs are generic rebranded cheapies.
As good as the discs are, their spindles are a joke. If anybody is buying these, get them in shrinkwrap, not on a spindle. They have the cheapest most flimsy spindles I've ever seen, and they don't even have a foam spacer to keep the discs from clattering around in shipping. Shrinkwrap is the way to go, just recycle an old spindle.
