ATIP: 97m 31s 07f Maxell XL 650MB / 74min Disc Manufacturer: Ritek Co. Reflective layer: Dye (Short strategy; e.g. Phthalocyanine) Media type: CD-Recordable Recording Speeds: min. unknown - max. unknown nominal Capacity: 656.69MB (74m 45s 00f / LBA: 336225) Previously Maxell's made by Maxell were giving some problems. Recently they have turned for RITEK in their production, which naturally is a turn for the better. Typically sold in "semi-slim" cases (slimmer than normal, but more than 1/2 of the thickness)
I have 700M Maxell cd's that have no real markings as to which product line they are. I go to maxell's site and they have several different types of media. The ones I recently bought do not seem to fit in anywhere. Do you think they are using ritek for all of there products?
My experiences with those Ritek Maxell 74's are that they're very good, just like any other Ritek Phtalocyanine media I've come across. freaksta: Download CD-R Identifier and see for yourself. It should be available at the software section in cd-rw.org if I'm not mistaken.
I tried it here at work and it wouldn't identify any disk I had. I will try at home also. Seems like that tool is outdated or doesn't work on win2k or my hardware here at work
CD-R Identifier requires up to date ASPI to be installed. Works fine here with W2K. However, some people have probs with CDR-Id, and I usually recommend Feurio! as an alternative. Great burning app with a good CD-R identification features.
Bought a batch of green boxed Maxells : This Disc is designed for CD-RW/COMBO Drive Only. Disc Type, Material = CD-R, Phthalocyanine ATIP Lead-in = 97m 25s 29f Norminal Capacity = 702.83MB (79m 59s 74f) Disc Manufacturer maybe = Maxell SMART-BURN Speed Limit = 40X I'm using Lite-On's Smart Burn CDR Identifier. http://www.maxell-data.com/pliars/000044.jpg Seem to be okay so far. Nice finish.
Bought 10PK of Maxell last night, here are the stats: Maxell CD-R pro 10PK 700MB 80min 1x-24x (Black box) - Triple Coated Scratch Resistant ATIP: 97m 24s 01f Disc Manufacturer: Taiyo Yuden Company Ltd. Reflective layer: Dye (Long strategy; e.g. Cyanine, Azo etc.) Media type: CD-Recordable nominal Capacity: 702.83MB (79m 59s 73f / LBA: 359848)
Maxell CD-R 80 XL 700mb 1-16x ATIP: 97m 25s 07f Disc Manufacturer: MPO Reflective layer: Dye (Short strategy; e.g. Phthalocyanine) Media type: CD-Recordable Recording Speeds: min. unknown - max. unknown nominal Capacity: 702.69MB (79m 59s 00f / LBA: 359775) So far my experiences with MPO have been very positive. Maxell seems to deliver quite a variety these days.
So far I have only bought MPO as "Roline" - bulk stuff in spindles. I bought them in Finland from TrioSoft in the city of Tampere. The spindle I bought was very good.
