I was wondering how many times can you rewrite a rewritable cd.

[The Knife Thrower]

It's probably 100 but I have no idea.

[Genius]

I would'nt recommend to many times, depends on how much you value your data on your disk. ;)

[yellowdiscman]

From what i have read up to 1000 times how ever i hate them cuz when reaches limt the cd is coster and you have lost all your data :shifty:

[harrycary]

Who cares how long they last.
And why use that type of media?
As cheap as blank CD-Rs are(<1&#036; ea), you can just throw them away(or recycle) as you use them.

[freak]

harrycary where are you buying ur cd-r&#39;s thats expensive??? normaly cd-rs useally equal between 15 to 25 cents a peice...least thats what i useally pay when i buy them in spendles... I don&#39;t use cdrw i normally just make a backup if i don&#39;t need it anymore i just toss it&#33; im alway getting rid of cd-r&#39;s all the time.......its also fun to throw them at people to :D WOW at that price for a spendle of 100 would be &#036;100 now thats expensive.....thats about the price DVD-rs are now.

[Rip The Jacker]

You can burn stuff on your re-writible an infinate amout of times.

... Or at least until they are all old and scratched up and your CD-Rom can&#39;t read even read the damn thing. :lol:

[harrycary]

Freak, I stated less than a dollar.
Anything under a buck is cheap to me.
I got a j-o-b.

And Krackhead2k, you cannot write an infinite amount of time to a CD-RW.
And it has nothing to do with scratched plastic. Scratches can be polished out. There is a degradation that occurs to the substrate of the media. It just cannot hold it&#39;s "shape" (for lack of a better word) after so many times. Eventually you will have corrupted sectors the just aren&#39;t readable. For that reason, and the aforementioned low cost of CD-Rs, they, are the best alternative when backing-up or saving files.

No offense intended guys.

CD-RWs are very handy if you use them with DirectCD or InCD.
You can use them like floppy disks to copy/paste files, drag and drop files, rename files, delete files... Basically, they work like one huge floppy disk. ;)

i find zip disks are better for this :)

its just too bad LS120 flopys didnt catch on they where great but the guys that made them where to gready and tryed to make them propriatary and had trobble markiting them so the zipdisk won out

the great theing about Ls 120 was not only could u get a 120 megs on 1 flopy but it made regular flopys work at 10X speed thu the 120 flopys where a little expencive but they would have come down in price if it had cought on

[ooo]

...more like 29¢ each.

Cheaper than a floppy disk&#33;

I have about 5 CDRWs that I bought 2 years ago, never used them.


CDRWs were "THE THING" when CDRs used to cost &#036;8.00 each.

[Schmiggy_JK23]

I like that little usb plugin/keychain thing that dell packs with some systems, costs like 250&#036;, but it holds like 300 megs or something i thought, totally portable, u can use it on any pc with usb.

diskonkey, or keydisk, something like that.

[harrycary]

A USB drive is what you&#39;re talking about Schmiggy.
Practically everyone carries them. TigerDirect (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Category/category_slc.asp?Id=3604) has a bunch of different brands/sizes. And they can be very cheap (<&#036;30US)depending on the capacity you want.

[ooo]

i thought flash memory was for cameras only?

what exactly can they hold anyways?

[harrycary]

USB drives can store any file types. Typically Windows will automatically recognize it without the need for a driver. This does vary depending upon which version of Windows you have.
A USB drive behaves like any other drive. You can drag and drop files using Windows Explorer.

Spindulik
Do you even know what the "<" & ">" symbols mean? And yes, that is a good price for blank CDs. Does that acknowledgement make you feel better?

[ooo]

ooo thanks for explaining :P

imma get a 24 dollar one from newegg :P 64mb SOYO Cig@r

[Livy]

i got a cdrw with ma old writer. good old 2x. and i used that alot cause cd werent that cheap.
and am a poor student, and it doesnt work anymore, and i look after my cds.
that was after about 2 years though,

[ooo]

2x... eh dont u think thatz a little small 8x is fine... today&#39;s speed is like 52x lol

[Livy]

that was my old writer, i got a 24x now. well better.

[ooo]

im using 8x right now... even if i get a 52x cdrw im not going to write it that fast... reduce errors w/ a lower speed...
