2x Media recommendations for the A05

[graysky]

I'm open to them.. after getting burnt by mertline.com's lie about their Ritek 2x media working on an A05 @ 2x!!!

So what are you all out there using to do 2x burns w/ this drive?

i have a set of Maxell DVD-Rs that I bought from Bestbuy a few weeks ago, 10 pack for 20 bucks after rebate, not a bad deal at all..but regular price is 35 bucks now, so i don't know...these work excellently for me

pimp:

I paid 19.99 then i got a 5 buck instant rebate then a 10 dollar gift card when you send in the rebate!

That is still going from staples!

[graysky]

What?!

5 discs for 20 bucks - 5 instant rebate - 10 giftcard?

That's pretty good

the ones that i got were the 10-pack from BestBuy...maybe I'll go pick up some of the 5-pack as well...thanks man...is it the usual 1 per household deal?

Yup, the Staples deal is one per household, which I forgot when I bought 2 five packs.

I've only done 1 burn on it, but no problems on my A05.

yeah, these maxells work great...i've done 4 burns so far, all perfect

that's good to know that maxells work file.

I used TDK DVD-R (2x) - they are great. I had no single problem.
I just bought 15 dvds for $40 at JandR. (less than $3 each)
it's gretty cheap.

I also used DVD-RW sony and tdk - They work great but speed is 1x

ALSO: do NOT get memorex DVD-R - I bought 3pack from staples and they don't work on my A05 burner and stand alone dvd player (Apex 1600)
