I can't find TDK media from Japan ,it's all from Luxemburg(Europe).What is quality of this media manufactured in Luxemburg. I saw TDK media 150qty on the stick without label for 0,22eur for 1 on 1000-2000qty.I saw small hologram on the end of the disk with little TDK.

TDK uses media from other manufacturers like Taiyo Yuden, RITEK

You can find the Luxembourg TDK address on almost every TDK CD-R box that is sold in Europe. It's the address of the European headquarter and has nothing to do with the production site where the discs are manufactured.

TDK has a CD-R production site in Bascharage (Luxembourg)

But TDK also sells CD-Rs made by Tajyo Yuden, Ritek and CMC.
In general the quality of the TDK discs is good, even the Riteks and CMCs are of a rather decent quality. TDKs made by Taiyo Yuden are of excellent quality and the TDKs made at its own production site in Luxembourg are of good quality, too

I'm using a lot of TDK CD-Rs with different drives and never had any problems with them

But before buying 1.000 or 2.000 pcs I would really recommend to run some tests with the discs to check the quality (writing/reading) and the compatibility with your cd-writer

I think TDK makes only their media under the D-VIEW 24X certified label name. Their latest 40X, 48X comes from TY or RITEK usually

It's almost impossible to say for sure, what manufacturer has produced a certain TDK disc without having the ATIP of these discs.

I've used a lot of TDK Reflex Ultra 650MB 16x
Some are made by Taiyo Yuden,
Example: http://www.cdr-info.de/detailcdr.php?ID=1009
Others are made by Ritek,
Example: http://www.cdr-info.de/detailcdr.php?ID=651

The TDK D-VIEW 24x discs are also made by Taiyo Yuden, like in this
Example: http://www.cdr-info.de/detailcdr.php?ID=1193

The TDK 48x media are made by TDK at its own production site,
Example: http://www.cdr-info.de/detailcdr.php?ID=1611
but I've also seen TDK 48x CD-Rs made by CMC.

Hmm...Interesting. The only TDK media i saw in the local market was only the TDK D-VIEW 24X from RITEK...

(in reply to LoopDeMack)

I must tell you that I saw only 48x TDK media,one without any label and one with D-VIEW 48X on the top(but this D-view is expensive and it's price for one is 0.33eur on 500 pcs)
If some one now's about this TDK 48X without case(on stick 150pcs) and without any label ,it look's like no name media and it has small hologram at the end of the disk (1mmX3mm) with sign TDK, I need any info please!!!!!!!

(in reply to LoopDeMack)

Without having the ATIP of these TDK discs, it's impossible to give detailed information

Why not ask the seller of these TDK discs who the manufacturer is.
He should know it

Here in Germany you get TDKs of all kind

But TDK never mentions the manufacturer of its discs,
not even a "Made in Japan", "Made in Taiwan" etc is given,
that would provide some useful hints
