when buying TDK blank discs, be sure you can see the white TDK logo in the hub ... it also says "certified plus" in white.
according to the article in cd media world which quotes an email from TDK saying "The RITEK discs do not have the, "Certified Plus" label on them,". this is FALSE because i bought a 50 spindle from a large US internet company and although the cardboard wraparound banner shows the "certified plus" logo, they were actually ritek made discs. the graphics were the same design as what is shown at tdk.com.
to confuse matters, i bought some discs with the same style graphics that were actually tdks. the graphics on the actual CD were all in white (and also has the tdk logo in the hub) whereas the ritek ones with the same graphics on the CD were in silver. well, i guess you can always tell because tdk's are blue azo whereas the riteks are green.
lucky for me that i found a supplier that carried the old 8x blank & shiny discs that i love : ).
ps. i read somewhere that the new 24x tdks were manufactured by taiyo yuden
