TDK'S NEW 80-MINUTE/700MB CAPACITY CDR
TDK 80minute/700mb CDR   TDK's new 80-minute/700mb media is available as CD-R80 REFLEX (data) and CD-RXG80 REFLEX (audio). The state-of-the-art REFLEX technology used to manufacture these discs makes them among the best currently available.
Compilation albums are hot news these days in the music industry whether they are sun-soaked Ibiza anthems, party sounds of the 80s or collections of favourite love songs. But the problem with these popular albums is that they often run over the standard 74-minute length of an ordinary CD-R.

But, now, the solution is at hand. TDK has listened to the needs of its customers and has responded to the growing demand for longer recordable CDs by introducing a range of 80-minute recordable media. These six minutes extra on every CD mean you can include more of your favourite compilation CDs.

Of course, the new-length media are not just suitable for audio recordings. The enhanced capacity of the data-use CD-R80 REFLEX- an extra 50MB - can be used for all your data storage needs. This additional storage capacity comes without any loss in quality or reliability.
