I do not know of a site that reviews CDR/RW media but I would be interested
in hearing of what. Here's my personal experience and $0.02. When in doubt,
buy Memorex. You can usually find Memorex media on sale. I have also used
Dysan, who makes very good media inexpensively; however, they are hard to
find. My last two choice for CDR/RW media are Pacific Digital and CompUSA,
who is obviously manufactured b someone else.

I would avoid both Acer media (although I have an Acer drive) as well as
Smart and Friendly. I have had not so good experiences created data on
either of their respective CDR and CDW media.
