Obviously, whatever I go for is going to be more expensive than my present unbranded ones but hopefully it will be worth it.
Yeah i heard great things about Verbatim disks, I have never had a chance to use them to voice my opinion with them seeing that i haven't had any issues with Memorex or Maxell.
I ordered a couple of spindles of Memorex and Maxell discs plus some of those Verbatim Super Azos. Got them for quite a good price too. If this site is still going strong in 5-10 years time then I'll report on their longevity !
