I have a crappy Iomega ZIPCD 4x4x24x CD-RW.
(coaster country folks).

I was looking at Ricoh 20x CD-RW, when I saw
the price of DVD-RAMs has dropped quite abit in the last couple of months.

Anyone tried one out yet?

It would save me stacks of room if I use a double sided DVD for storage.

It's between a Plextor 24x CDRW, Ricoh 20x CDRW or save abit more cash for a DVD-RAM of some make.

Dunno what to do.

Them are some Expensive Coasters ($17 USD a pop) The Last time that I checked the price about a month ago. I can get 16X 700meg CDR's 50@$7 U$D (32gig roughly I get 1-2 coaster per batch) vs DVD (1side 5.x gig 2sided 17.x gig) I would wait for the media to drop in price, I remember burning coaster's at a $1 a pop before the "Burn Proof"(LOL) Buffered CDR's were released. If you want to be a Beta tester for the DVDRaM, can you send me some of those Extra Quids you got layin around. LOL.

Granted I am looking forward to being able to back up on 2-3 DVD's for $5-7 (but by that time we will have half a terabyte hardrives and you will need about 25-30 DVD's for backup or storage. (8-16 months)

I would go with one of the new 24X CDRW with the new adaptive media technolgy. (it handles the differnt production quality of CDR's less errors)

there isn't an industrial standard nor affordable media

It sounds like you guy's think the DVD-RAM media maybe a little rough around the edge's yet.

You could be right!!!

Look how far CD writters have come since the first generation releases.

I'll hold on to my cash for now and wait for some mag reviews I think.

Cheers.
