WTF can I buy Ritek 32x CD-RW 52x CD-R Media?!?!?!?! I've looked and can't find it ANYWHERE.

It is so ****ing hard to find high-speed CD-RW media....Makes me wonder why vendors are producing faster and faster CD-RW drives, other than for marketing reasons....[}:)]

To the best of my knowledge Ritek does not make 32x CD-RWs yet, although I know they *do* make 24x CD-RWs. I think the only maker of 32x CD-RWs is Mitsubishi Chemicals, which can be found on some online stores under the Verbatim Datalife Plus brand name (Here)

Ritek does make 52x CD-Rs and they can be purchased at lot's of different online stores. For instance Meritline.com carries them (Here)

If you decide to go with the 32x CD-RWs though, you may want to check out my review on them (here). I have serious doubts that most drives are properly supporting them for the moment, so perhaps stick with 24x CD-RWs, which seem to be better supported, and easier to find as well.

Actually, Ritek's web site says that they ARE shipping 32x CD-RW's.

As for the 52x's, I should have said printable....But now I see those are available thru Meritline now also....

I just bought several of the Plextor Premium's, specifically to take advantage of the 32x CD-RW functionality. I see your article doesn't give this drive a very good review at 32x. So, who makes the best 24x CD-RW's?

LazLong,

Please refrain from cursing on the board, yeah, you used asterisks to delete it out, but you left the meaning, it is not needed, required, and will not be tolerated on the board. Thank you in advance for you full cooperation.

I've used Mitsubishi Chemicals' 24x CD-RWs with very good results. You can find them under the Verbatim Datalife Plus brand name. They work quite well with the Plextor Premium too.

I'll post some results if I get the chance.
