have any of you ever experienced CDRW-discs getting cracks in the center? I had 4 CDRW-discs (3 from TDK and one from Smart Buy) that cracked up from the middle and leaving the disc totally useless. I could be a sideeffect of super-fast drives like 50X and up, that simply rips appart the cd. |

Ahh, that's really crap... No, never happened here... |
||||||||
|

|
it's AntiPiracy conspiracy me thinks... |
||||||||
|

|
i dont use them, CD-Rs are dirt cheap anyway. just use piles of them. |

Antipiracy? some people use cdrw's to store important data... I think they'd be really pissed to lose this data... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
*looks around paranoid* but they know i bought those cd's |
||||||||
|
|

WHY NOT TRY TO RETURN THEM AND HAVE THEM REPLACED. iF YOU HAVE ORIGINAL RECEITS, THAT IS... Sorry for the caps, my bad, i didn't mean to shout. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but what if I return the discs and they find out that I havent got ANY legal data on those discs... |

I tend not to buy cheap CDRs, I allways prefer to buy SONY if I can. In work we had a big problem with disks that had cracks in them, exploding in CD drives. It only applied to certain computer's cdrom drives, but nevertheless scarey. The problem isn't going to affect any of you guys, but makes interesting reading anyway. The noise of the disk shattering is like a gun, and sometimes the plastic is forced out through the drive. HAve a look at this link... http://www.rm.com/safety/Affected.asp |

I don't think anyone is going to go try the effort of checking out what data you have on your cdrw's, junkie... BTW, if you only have mp3 music and not kiddy porn, there are no reasons to worry, anyway... I always use cheapest cdr's (no name) and this Chris's story really scared the shit outta me. |

I always check my disks for cracks in the centre |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Uhh, I never do, but have never had any of such experiences... |
||||||||
|

The cracks, I assume are made when you 'pop' them out of the cd cases. Some disks really feel like they're gonna crack or split when they're remove from their cases! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yeah...when you buy an album the small "holders" in the case often splinters |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmmm I've never had this, but will be looking out for it now |
||||||||
|

|

Yeah, i know what you mean, but it never got to this extreme |

It was a fairly localised problem Jarworski, I think the drives were LG drives. We had plates to fit inside the drives, but that didn't stop the disks shattering, it just kept the disks inside the drive - instead of impaling the user! |

"Yeah, i know what you mean, but it never got to this extreme" sounds like lyric... with what ive seen, and where ive been.. something like that =o) |

Don't worry about it Meho - the problem was only with a certain manufacturers 48x - 52x drives |

Awesome! I wish I could see someone get smashed with one. |

My CDR drive is a 50X...sick |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I've been in a room when one explodes inside the drive (didn't come out threw the casing though) - it was quite loud! If you could imagine sat at a desk, and kicking the underneath of the desk as hard as you could - that would sound pretty much like it! |

my drive @ home is 50xas well. *straps on a helmet and a breastplate* Junktion: how do you get italic letters? |
||||||||

Not at all - this was limited to a specific batch of CD-ROM drives. Mines a Creative 52x, and my other PC has an Acer 50x |
