Samsung 48x CD-R's opinions needed

[Spazmogen]

has anyone tried them yet?

I just ordered 2 spindles of 100 from www.tigerdirect.ca for $87 taxes and shipping included (about $56 USD).

I'm not sure who really made them. I see from TheWizard's media thread that CMC, ProDisc & RiTek have made discs for Samsung in the past. I hope they're ProDisc. I've had excellent results with ProDisc in the past.

BTW: www.tigerdirect.ca is very welcome in Canada. That's another major US retialer that's opened a CDN store. Best Buy is going wild with store openings up here.

I bought some off a spindle, and they were Nan-Ya discs. YMMV, cos I bought 20, out of which 10-12 were very good, and the rest sucked.
I'm using a 52246S,6s0C.

Spaz: When you get the CD's and run some tests, let us know the results and I'll post them to the Media Compatibility List. Thanks.

Samsung even buys from Nanya. Amazing.

InstantInfo is no help- the fastest listed there is 12x. So we're eagerly awaiting your report. I've had good results with Prodisc, too (and Ritek for that matter- but I've only tried TDK 40x).

Let me just say that (as far as the picture goes) that is one classy disk- looks really elegant !
