CD-RW CDs

The VTech · Dec 25, 2002

I picked up some CD-RWs at Fry's and they are for High Speed CD-RW and my current CD-RW will not see them. Does anyone know what CD-RW does read these?? I have been to Newegg and Directron but maybe I am missing something in the specs?

Thanks!

I'm certain my 48X10X48 drive, the 10x is considered "high speed". Your drive is probably a 4x RW.

8x so close enough I guess eh? Time to upgrade that too now.
Looking at the Pioneer DVD-R-RW CD-RW at Directron. $236 +shipping.
Anyone know of a better one?

don't waste your money "high-speed" is simply a scam to egt you to buy another cd burner I have a 40x12x48 and it can't read high-speed discs because it's not branded to do so, go down to your local comp usa buy some standard 12x media not rated as high speed stick it in your burn and burn to your hearts desire

He wants a dvd-burner...

A DVD burner would be nice and you couldn't PAY ME to buy something from CompUSA.
I'm just going to get the Lite-on CD-RW for now.
Lite On 24x10x40x

This will met my burning needs for now.

Thanks guys for the input.
