Hey people, take a look at this link:

I can't beleive someone like TDK would even contemplate using RITEK for their cd's. Perhaps they were intended for the far-east or something. Talk about a good way to screw up your corporate image..
Iv'e used RITEK discs for a while up until recently. Now I know better. For the price we're paying for them in the UK, we can get proper, well-known brands for virtually the same price. Like the previous post Iv'e just givenup on them and don't advise their use.
RITEK have improved the quality of their product - but I am still unconcinced about their lastability; they still offer virtually no protection against scratching. Iv'e burned to these discs and left them on a shelf. A few months later without hardly any usage, these cd's look dirty and some even fail to be read in my pc. Some have "flaked" before Iv'e even unwrapped them out of their spool. You know those leather disc wallets you get that can hold 124+ cd's? Well I put some well-used RITEK cd's in one and quite a few just cracked in the centre, unable to take the strain. The one's made by Verbatim and Memorex didn't suffer this problem. It seems this combination of heavy usage and heavy storage are too much for RITEK..
In my opinion if you're gonna stick with RITEK, I'd advise you get the one's under the NUDGEN brand. Of all the one's made by RITEK these gave me the least trouble.
Thanks for reading. Happy burning :-)
